I got the Hypertech tune installed in my 2011. Can't tell a lot of difference in daily driving but I do drive it real easy with only about 4 miles to work.

Changed the shift firmness to 25% firmer. Can tell a slight difference there. Will probably have to wait till next summer to really check gas mileage when towing boat. Hope it was not money wasted.

I went to 50% on my 2011, shifted much better on the daily driving. Highway was much better on power especially when passing. I have been messing around with the shift points and rpm as well but have not got it perfect yet. I have a bit of a heavy foot on the highway but in the city I drive pretty easy and I think the hyper tech was well worth it. I saw maybe 1-1.5 mpg increase but shifting and power was much better which was my main goal. Every programmer I have ever had, on several trucks, helped with mileage while towing the most with modest improvement while not towing. Please post your results with the boat next summer, I would be curious if it is the same in your case. I really don't tow with this vehicle so I can't test it myself. Cheers.
