I have an 86 4Runner and it does the same thing, I think a little suction is normal, but if it gets so bad that the engine is starving for gas then something is plugged up or not working properly and needs to be fixed.

Every vehicle I've ever owned or operated had some suction when you open the gas cap.

Leave the gas cap off and see how well your truck runs.

The fuel system is a closed system so the "suction" is supposed to be there.
