A extra large pan will help a bit. But I would suggest looking for one that has cooling fins built in. And if possible, a drain plug. Trust me, a drain plug on a trans pan is a great idea. As a possible cost savings, compare the price of a larger pan to the biggest FMHE you can get for trans cooling. If the FMHE can hold a gallon of trans fluid, that'* better then a extra quart in the pan.

I've pulled travel trailers with a truck that had a towing package. I'll tell you, it'* like dragging a safe behind you. It'* a constant heavy load. Where as a open trailer has a heavy load at start and then lower load when cruising. A enclosed trailer has a heavy load at start, and then the load goes up as you go faster. Put your hand out the window at 65, now figure the small surface area there and then look at the surface area of the trailer. If you want a enclosed trailer, perhaps a snow mobile trailer would be good. They have a slope at the front and will cut down on resistance.
