is it worth it? 6.2L

I recently bought a 2015 F250 4x4 crew cab long bed (all stock). I am going to be pulling a 28' pop up camper about 3,000 lbs. plus scuba gear (eventually an ATV at some point which would bump my weight up close to 6,000 lbs towing). I put a cold air intake on my old truck and didn't notice a difference in performance. I am thinking about doing a tuner this time around. I am hoping for some good feedback on wether to invest in a tuner or not and any recommendations on brands and options to look for. ie: 5star 3,5, or 9?
Thanks guys and gals

Cold air intake by itself won't get you power. The intent there is to reduce combustion air charge temps. so you can increase spark. Increasing spark is where you will get your power. You will need a tuner for that.
