The use of a performance tuner will absolutely help while towing, especially going up and down hills. The Edge Gas Evolution CTS2 Performance Tuner part # EP85450 is what I recommend for a 2018 Ford F-150 with 2.7L EcoBoost. The Edge Gas Evolution comes with a towing tune which is going to optimize shift points which is really going to take strain off the vehicle's transmission while driving up and down mountains.
Furthermore, the device will increase horsepower/torque so the trailer is actually going to feel lighter and you'll also notice some increase in fuel economy. The best part of all is that with the above device you'll be able to monitor vital engine/transmission parameters such as transmission fluid temperature which is something you'll want to keep an eye on while towing, especially up and down mountains,
