Own a 2018 Ram 1500 w/ 5.7 in it. It has CA emission but I now live in Alaska. Truck is a dog when we tow our travel trailer.

Anyone recommend a tuner or other inexpensive fixes to add some torque output for my truck?

What gears does it have? Any modifications like bigger tires or a lift? I never found any of my RAMs to be underpowered. How heavy is your trailer loaded down?

Cam swap is the only way to get power, Also 6.4L intake, LTs and custom Tune

Trailer runs about 8K loaded. Truck definitely pulls it but I feel like the CA emission restrictions are holding it back. Standard 20" tires and no lift.

No such thing as CA emissions anymore. That's a thing of the past. They call it 50 state emissions now, and they all have that if they're sold in the US.
