A lot of times it is just money making add-ons, but just to throw this out there, frequent tire rotations and alignments (every 6 months if driven normally, 15k a year) will extend the life of your tires greatly. Might not be a horrible idea to have the air suspension calibrated once a year as well.
With the suspension continuously changing the alignment settings, tires will wear out much faster then on a fixed suspension truck.
And I understand that doing all of this would probably be more costly then replacing the tires 10k miles sooner. Also, these wiper blades are expensive.
One thing to keep in mind also, especially if you plan on keeping the truck past warranty coverage, is that these direct injection engines build up a massive amount of carbon on the intake valves due to a lack of fuel being sprayed on them to clean them off. By the time that there is any sort of an issue, it is too late to fix it, and the top of the engine will need to come apart to fix it. No one will recommend this at a lower mileage, however I strongly suggest having an induction service preformed every 15k miles to keep there from being build up.
