Euromodder is pretty dead on with his suggestions. I'll add that an e-fan conversion is a huge gainer in mpg if your vehicle came with a fan clutch. Of course things like a ring and pinion swap, smaller crank pulley, AC & PS deletes also can yield big gains as well but they are a little more in-depth.
I would say the biggest thing you can do is altering your driving habits. I started modifying my driving about a year ago and I went from the low 20's to consistantly breaking 30 this summer.
If you want a small/smallish truck, the late model Tacoma's (especially if paired with an automatic) is not going to yield epic mpg (though to be fair most trucks are not going to). But they are nice, stout little trucks. Have fun and good luck man!
