Clutch burning in reverse

I have a 2016 JKU and pull a jet ski trailer with a kayak on it. When backing it up the clutch gets very hot and smells like its burning up. Has anyone else noticed this, or is it just me?

I had that happen once in my 2009 JK while backing a loaded trailer up a hill... definitely not on a usual basis though. I'd say just baby the clutch and make sure the RPMs don't get too high.
