Hi everyone. Curious if anyone can recommend a programmer to help improve mileage while towing. I am looking for a safe, not-trying-to soup up my truck programmer to specifically help improve towing mileage. I have had programmers on diesels, but this is my first gasser and don't see lot of options, and most don't talk about mileage. Thanks for any and all input!

The only way to tune a 5th gen is to get a new unlocked ECM or get it unlocked by a programmer. The only plug and play ones out there are Pulsar which piggy backs to ECM. Has towing modes etc. check it out on Edge's site. Hope this helps.

I don't think any program will help you improve mileage when towing. The biggest thing you can do when towing to get mileage is to slow down.
