Using tuners on pickup trucks

Have any of you with v8 pickups gotten better mileage with the use of a tuner? My vehicle needs kinda forced me into a 2008 f150 4x4. I used to average 28mpg throughout the year with my rwd ranger. With this f150 if I'm just commuting I'm averaging about 16mpg. Any off road use really drops it down. I was thinking about ordering something like a sct tuner with custom tunes for my truck like an economy and a towing tune. Can they really help economy at all? I can't really get any better with changing driving habits and mods really aren't feasible at this time. I'd like to get another ranger but don't have the room at the time.
