That's a good point, plus even a small improvement is proportionately higher in a truck compared to some smaller, lighter, more aerodynamic and inherently more efficient car.

There's a huge array of things you can do that should all pay off, and due to how trucks are made they're generally easier to install.
A good old body-on-frame layout may have its drawbacks, but if you wouldn't be willing to keep your vehicle looking mostly stock it still allows you to go extreme without so much risk of compromising the structural integrity.
