2017 F250 gas performance upgrade
Wondering if cold air intakes and performance tuners provide a benefit regarding towing? I have a 2017 F250 gas truck and am looking at options to increase towing performance. Thanks...

Your truck comes with a stock "cold air intake".. It just ain't that fancy stainless steel tube thing, but it still grabs cold air from outside the engine compartment..
Choice of filters is up to you... I've used them all and they all work.. The K&N's get a bad rap, but unless you know what you are doing, not worth it at all..
Tunes.... Well, I've not gone that route.. I hear they can up the power pretty good... Just never felt the need to mess with it...
Heck, I've got 365hp and 420tq from the factory... I don't need to get from point A to point B any quicker.. I also don't bog up the grades either running stock, so no point really.. I do run 92 octane gas, and that does help believe it or not... Or get a tune... Your truck, your choice. :)
Also, I know you are talking a 6.2 gas NA engine and towing a big A 5th wheel... Do you already run 92 octane gas now? I know that did make a difference from running the 87 when I started towing the new Rockwood... (it weighs all of it's #7000 GVWR) :)
Good luck! Mitch
