Park in the shade.
I know suggesting you park in the "shade" at night sounds like I'm off my meds, but the reason dew and dew-ice form on your truck is that it radiates heat to the deep night sky and its temperature becomes lower than the air temperature.
Parking under a carport or an evergreen tree will obstruct the view of the deep night sky and prevent radiant heat transfer. Your truck will stay warmer during the night and dew/dew-ice won't form on it.
Even parking beside a building or stand of trees will significantly reduce the amount of dew/dew-ice which forms.
