Cool 05' suburban 2500 8.1L

We purchased this truck to pull our 7500 lb travel trailer and it does a great job pulling! Our issue is my wife uses it as her car the other 95% of the time as a stay-at-home mom. So 95% of time it has way too much power and gets way too poor gas mileage. I keep it weel maintained and up to date with service however wondering if there's a chip to trade power for gas mileage when we're not towing? Maybe even shut down some of the cylinders however revert back to default when we tow?
