This is an Interstate, right? Minimum speed limit of 45 mph? In first gear?

Start at 45 mph, tow/haul mode, cruise control. At 50 mph the cruise will downshift automatically to slow you down. If that isn't comfortable you can downshift manually by tapping the brake as Jamie said.

Slow down early, slow down hard when you do brake.
