You SURE ALL all the fuses are good? Many times a fuse will look good, but actually be bad. Maybe a bad relay?

How did it happen? Did it just happen driving down the road? When you went to turn on the lights? After doing any recent work?

Do you have DRL? When you say no tail lights, what about brake and reverse lights?

Do you have daytime running lights on your truck?

Pop the light switch out of the dash and see if you are getting juice to the switch. I think it is a tan/white wire. It should be hot with the key off and the switch in the off position.
