Make sure the shop that does the service not only changes the fluid and filter but that they also adjust the bands. Some people seem to have an attitude about this part but it is critical (esp at higher mileage) that those bands don't slip.
X2 if the pan is off a good idea to check and adjust the bands. Think the owners' manual says something about band adjustment at 15K or 30K miles depending on the maintenance schedule you're following (severe or regular duty). But if you're towing, once a year seems like good insurance.
