I don't care how 'hopped up' a 6 cylinder engine is, when it comes to towing you need the cubic inches. ECO Boost may be OK for running around with an empty truck, but you need more than that to tow something of substance. You are asking the 6 cyl to work too hard. That's just the way life it.
The EB is MADE to tow. That is specifically what it was made for. A factory EB without the Max tow and/or HD is rated to town 9,600.
That being said.....SLOW DOWN!!
We tow with a 2012 EB Max tow and HD and we get right at 10 mpg towing. Non-towing, we get around 18-19. When towing, we travel at or around 62 mph on the interstate highways. Yes, it will go faster, but that is where we feel the most comfortable towing a load.
