Run the breakin oil the factory put in the engine for at least 3000 miles. This allows the rings,cam and lifters to seat.Then you can change it out to the synthetic. You still have to maintain the factory oil change and filter intervals,either by the oil change indicator built into the computer,if your truck has this option,or by mileage to maintain the warranty. If she does alot of short trip or stop and go driving,drives on dirt roads,or towing,(all considered severe application)I would change the oil and filter at more regular intervals than the oil change indicator would have you do,which can stretch it out to 10-12000 miles.I personally can't justify the extra expense of the synthetic,which still has to be changed at the same interval of regular oils,from which I have had excellent results.
