I have a 2020 Ford ranger and a 2922 and it sways really badly as you get close to 70 MPH.
You might try inflating your tires a bit more. Tires have a maximum pressure rating listed on the sidewall, often something like 44 psi. But today, most vehicle manufacturers want to emphasize a soft "comfy" ride, and tires are often inflated only to something like 35 psi.

Over the years, I have towed 3 different TMs with 3 different Ford tow vehicles. In every case, with the tires at 35 psi, the truck felt just a bit "squirrely" as I was towing. This was not sway by any means, and I never felt it was dangerous - but it was kind of uncomfortable. In every case, I found that bringing the cold tire pressure up from 35 to 40 psi eliminated the squirrely feeling, leaving a rock-solid towing feel.

Stiffer tires could help the situation. It is an easy thing to try.
