I haven't had this problem yet anyway. But I agree engine braking is essential, on a long downhill never be in 5th gear, put it in 4th and lower the speed. Something else I always do is turn on the AC and turn on the headlights to provide a little bit more engine resistance from the alternator. I sometimes tow a pop-up trailer and I never had an issue with this strategy.
