Everyone probably knows this, but you don't have to hold the key in the "starter" position to start the truck. Just flick it to the start position and let go and the truck completes the start... yin yin yin varoom.

Never do this . . .
I would never do the coast thing, but I do drop er into neutral (pretty often) when approaching a stop sign or red signal. You'll find you stop WAY quicker and save brakes.
Like the man said, you have to make a complete stop.
Don't move the selector until you have your foot ON the brake.
I've done this consistently on two vehicles for 200k miles without issue.

I must say that the 2002 coasted a lot further than this big box does. And that was with leaving it in drive and just turning the CC off. The 2015 seems to have a lot of engine braking when I don't want it. Even notice this when coming up to a red light that I'm trying to time for it to go green.

Opening the tailgate has been proven to do nothing for gas mileage and is illegal in some states if you have no load in the bed requiring it to be open.
