190* temps while towing are normal. I usually use the rule of thumb is about 80*F over ambient temps when unloaded, and about 100-110* over ambient when towing. This is with the TC locked, if you're running with it unlocked obviously it'll be alot higher. If you're getting over 200* you should start thinking about pulling over and letting it cool. If you get to 230* then you need to get the fluid flushed ASAP as you've passed the critical temp point.
