If you need 'enhancements' then might want to reconsider what you are towing OR what you are towing with
My 2001 Dodge dually diesel, with 90,000 miles, does an admirable job, but with 245 hp from the factory it is pretty slow on steep climbs.
I could spend $20,000 for a new truck, or spend some money on a Edge EZ, 90 hp injectors, and a tunnel ram. For around $1000, I have about 150 more hp, more torque, and the engine is still well understressed. Now I can easily pull hills and I never feel like the truck is struggling.
And it returns between 10-11 mpg while pulling my 15,000 lb. toyhauler.
