Anyone know much about the programmers for Trucks? I have a few questions about them if anyone knows the answers. These are a couple I have been looking at:

I am currently driving a 2004 f150 5.4L Truck. I have been pulling my 7000lb camper with said truck. I was considering upgrading to a diesel down the road but wanted to put it off for a year or two.

1. I understand they are worth the money for diesels but I find conflicting reports on if they would help with a gas truck when towing. Would it be worth it to purchase for a gas truck to help with towing?

2. They supposedly have different programs for when you are towing vs fuel efficiency vs performance. Are these programs included with the device or do you have to buy separately?

3. If you do mods do they have options for adjusting the programs for the mods or does that require someone reprogramming them?

4. Would they have programs for different trucks or would I need to purchase specifically for my truck? So if I do purchase a diesel down the road would I be able to just use the same programmer in the new truck?

I may have some additional questions once these are answered.

Thanks for your guidance.
