Keep your tires inflated to max areas of the rating. Best mileage and load hauling there. Level your truck for the load your hauling, less wind resistance. Lots of guys going down the road with a late 60's front end rake up in the air just sucking down fuel. If your truck isn't level hooked up to the trailer add. If you want a truck for tow/haul set it up that way, instead of like a car. Next trip to the Dealership go with a stronger set of axles to do the mountains. You can always lower the ratio with bigger tires. RPM's will help clean out the CAC and deliver to the road needed torque. It actually gets better the more trailer tow option you do. Crisp shifts, higher gear change RPM's and downshifts for hills and stop signs. All pullout the condensation and give added braking/torque at the road. Many want a car that works like a truck or vise versa instead of a truck that works and drives like a truck. That's ok for the average guy going to work every morning. Not you I know, you want a truck that pulls and hauls like a truck, not a overloaded and sway backed out to pasture.

Best way to save money is not to change your truck, and to drive with a light right foot.
You are correct.

You will not need a tune for exhaust or CAI btw, but you will probably see no gains without one.

5 Star has actual economy tunes for the ecoboost. I haven't tried the econo tune yet but I like the 87 oct. perf/tow tune I have been running.
