What kind of scenario involves a "hard pull" followed by a sudden need to stop? I'm not picturing it in my mind's eye, nor can I recall encountering such a need over my limited towing mileage.
Any mountain up grade I've towed up was almost always followed by down grade to coast down, or at least level grade allowing the engine to rev down again.
Are we talking like, on a farm, where you're pulling stumps with your ecoboost and then need to shut down right away?

I always let my Diesel idle for a few minutes after a hard pull to keep the oil in the turbo from coking.
So "Hard Pull" in truth not many cases,BUT as Colliehauler points out, if you have a turbo, it is a good idea to let cool a bit, even after simply backing into your spot.
If you are backing up hill even slight, the EGT temps will be in the 600+ degree range, it is best for tour turbo, and oil to let EGT get back down to 300 degrees.
Even with water cooled turbos, an once of prevention!
I give min about 20 seconds when going to the store, temps are around 400 once parked.
