New 2009 owner question

Just traded in my 04 6.0 diesel for a left over 2009 5.4 gas. 6.0 engine just got the best of my wallett so I had to cut my loses. What kind of milage are you guys getting city and highway with your 5.4 long bed, ext. cab 4x4's ? I have 500lb of tools and boxes on my truck.

Also I tow a 4,000 lb trailer. Can't get used to the lack of power. Guess I am used to the diesel. When I go up a steep hill, I need to switch to 3rd or 2nd gear of the automatic trans. depending on the steepness of the hill. Is this normal ?

What's the best mod's I can do to gain the most HP. Don't really want to get into a tuner right now due to warranty issues
