tuner question

I HAVE A 2004 F-250 XLT W/6.0L DIESEL (04 motor). I LIVE IN FLORIDA NOW, BUT WILL BE MOVING BACK TO NW MONTANA THE FIRST OF NEXT WEEK (TOWING A DUAL AXLE U-HAUL TRAILER). QUESTION IS - IF I GET A TUNER, WHETHER IT IS A DIABLO OR SUPERCHIPS, WILL THIS MAKE A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN THE TOWING AND/OR INCREASE THE MPG ON THE TRIP. I HAVE AVERAGED 17 MPG SO FAR W/ 50-50 HWY/CITY DRIVING. 5500 MILES AND NO PROBLEMS. WHICH TUNER IS BETTER?

Yes, it will make a significant increase in towing power.

Should also give a mileage increase as well.

Which is better? Both are good, dyno results are similar.

Can you use the shift key? I'm have a very difficult time reading your post.
