Need more power for towing

I started towing a 7x12 V-nose cargo trailer that only weighs about 2,000lbs total. I know there's wind resistance, but at 65-70 mph, the transmission is usually only in 6th-7th gear. Is there any physical, or electronic mod that would help to get the engine to work a little less hard?

2019 Ford Ranger 2.3L Ecoboost 10 speed auto transmission

Thanks

Yup, you need to post in the "2019+ Ranger Forum" section. You'll reach people who own your vintage vehicle

Just out of curiosity, What happens when you keep it to 60 mph?
