I don't know if 4wd would give you more power though, but if you regulary tow then a re map may be the way to go

I thought super select was operated by a dial, I've got a gear stick

hmm, might be a tad controversial here, but despite full services etc, towed my twin axle lunar and it killed the warrior!!
did have warrior, but crossed over to disco 2.
Thought I could see light at the end of the tunnel, but it was somebody with a torch bringing more work!
