Got a 2023 ram Lone star edition with 5.7 l HEMI and have 5500 LBS when empty travel trailer already installed the OEM E- break with the software update to control it. We use the trailer several times a year usually tow long distances like going from Texas to Pennsylvania at the end of the month and last month we went to Arizona and all over the New Mexico 4 corner region had no problems. Just would like to make it a little easier on my drive train I have a cold air intake I'm going to install this week and was thinking of getting a stage 2 power chip. I don't want to tow more than what the vehicle can handle safety just would like to get better mileage and have the engine and transmission work more efficient while towing. Always use the tow haul mode when towing and I was getting 15 mpg on the way from Texas to AZ and in NM. On the way home hit bad head winds and my mileage dropped 9 to 10 mpg. When hauling the trailer I drive at 60 to 65 mph. Anyone have some ideas, or I'm I just wasting money on the CAI and chip? Thinking about installing a pair of headers later in the year I'm looking to just increase torque not HP as much. Don't want to void my warranty so just bolt on things I can remove before dealer service. The CAI will not void my warranty.
