There is nothing about the way you use your truck that requires using anything other than what Ford recommends. Follow the OLM and have a UOA done if you are nervous about the OCI.
A friend of mine works for a company that puts a ton of miles on F150s. He said the only real issues they have are with the rear axle. They have had 4 trucks need pinion bearings before 100K. Based on that I think a high quality gear lube would be a good idea.
