The toyota manual recommends using the lower weight oil for better fuel economy - why wouldn't everyone be using this always?! - i guess it's about education.. this article really opened my eyes!
There's no reason you can't just go to Synthetic. I don't know why people pass on so much disinformation about Synthetics when there are a boatload of vehicles that come from the Factory with Mobil 1 in them so change with confidence that what you're doing is good for your truck.
