You have already identified the easiest way to improve your mileage. Get a fuel economy gauge and drive slower. Just driving 55 mph can improve your economy 20% or more. You already have one of the best engines for a pickup truck. If you want to do something for aero move your tool boxes inward and have them inward of the truck cab.
A few years ago a friend and myself drove out to New Jersey from Iowa in an older Dodge Diesel, it had a 5 speed and a standard topper.
We had to make the trip in a weekend and drove it 75 mph most of the time. It averaged about 20mpg. I was impressed.
