Tow Vehicle Improvements

I'm a little concerned about pulling our travel trailer out west and being able to pull up steep grades. I have a 2010 F-150 5.4L and was considering making a couple of power improvements like a cold air intake system and a cat back exhaust system. Has anyone made these modifications? If so, do you think it was worth the investment?

Thanks in advance for your help.

    Spend your money on a tranny oil cooler. When you need more power do not pull in OD... fastest gear ratio change for free.

    If you want a noticeable improvement change your gear ratio(s). This will be the best perf. Mod you can do. I have a cold air intake and while it is a good system, by itself will not be noticeable. Another thing to consider is a 5star tuner. This will wake up your 5.4 and make it a better TV.
