Well, a truck is a very efficient vehicle... if you have to lug things that are too big or heavy for a car. Filling the bed with cargo won't hurt your FE much, and hauling a trailer won't hurt much more. The downside is that driving empty won't gain you much of anything.

If you don't have to lug things around, the best way to hypermile a gas truck is to sell it.
