If I was in the OP's position, I'd start with a 2WD pickup similar to my truck, and do what I've done so far. Then I'd do a full Phil Knox T100 aero job to it, followed by alternator delete with a solar panel on the topper. LED lights.
I might experiment with a bullet nose (Airflow BulletTruck, 1970 Dodge Charger Daytona) and/or a boattail.
I would then expect at least 40 MPG summer average.
I carry a set of tire chains for winter, so don't need 4WD.
