The thermostat will control the temperature under most conditions.
Adding water wetter won't make your truck run too cool unless it is so
cold outside that the truck can't reach normal operating temperatures.
If your truck has an overheating problem it can help. If you don't have
an overheating problem then don't bother. It was designed for racing
applications, where they aren't allowed to use anti-freeze (anti-freeze
is really slippery and very difficult to clean up off the racetrack).
It prevents corrosion and keeps the temperatures down. Since water
boils at a lower temperature than a 50/50 water/anti-freeze mix this can
be important. If I lived somewhere where freezing was not an issue I
might use Water Wetter instead of anti-freeze (it's cheaper).
