It is actually any easy swap.

A smaller, 4-cylinder engine will have to work harder to move the truck down the road, and may actually get worse gas mileage than the V6 that's in your truck now.
If you really want a truck that gets better fuel mileage, then buy one that's engineeried from the ground up for that purpose.How difficult would it be to change a 6cyl engine out with a 4 cyl?it would,nt be worth the effort changing it over. maybe all you 6 cylinder needs is a good tune-up and besides the rear end is made for the 6 cylinder and the computer is set up for the 6 so you see it will take more money then it,s worth.
