I am looking to get a chip or programmer for my RAM. I purchased it about two months ago and would like to get a little better MPG and HP out of it. I am also towing a 26ft Travel Trailer and would like it to pull it with a little bit more ease.

What would everyone recommend getting? Open to suggestions.

I believe your only option is to go through hemifever. The two options that fit the 2015's require a new unlocked PCM to work. They run $1000-1100. Look under Diablo DCX tuning on their website.

better mpg and more hp are probably not a compatible tune even if you got it you would be wanting to feel the hp and there goes mpg out the tank

^^ this....also that's a decent size trailer....weight is king at this point, so check the weight because I'm willing to bet that HP is more important than MPG when towing
..at least from my standpoint.

You will see maybe half an mpg better with a custom tune. Tuners are more about smiles per gallon than miles per gallon lol.

You will need a new PCM as well as the tuner, however you can send your old PCM to Diablo for them to modify. It's over 1000 to tune a 2015 unfortunately. Diablo is your only option for tuning as well.
