Consider wether or not you
really need a truck if you haven't bought it yet.
Shedding weight is an option, though carbon fiber is a rather expensive way to do it. Not buying into heavy vehicles unless you really need their capacities is a better approach.
Look for the Phil Knox / aerohead Toyota T-100 pick up truck, or Bamzippow's truck if you want to go extreme
Or look what Diesel_Dave got his truck up to by mainly changing driving habits.
Other mods :
Change your driving style & habits.
Grill block.
Belly pan.
Wheel fairings.
Bed cover, as aerodynamic as your use of the truck allows.
Removing unnecessary stuff from the vehicle - won't have much impact on a heavy vehicle.
