How many miles do you have on the spark plugs? Have you the truck since new? If you haven't change the plugs I would start there. I that doesn't fix it then you will need to look at the plug wire. If you can find a parts store that will download the computer on the truck. Is the service engine light on, has it come on when it happens and then goes out? Since the introduction to the new OBD2 computers some of them will store info and can guide you to the problem.

I have a 2002 Chevy Impala and wonder what damage can a cylinder misfire cause?
A cylinder misfire by itself shouldn't cause to much damage, but if you drive it while it's misfiring, it will cause a strain on the rst of the engine because you are going to be pulling the same weight with only 5 cylinders. The car will work harder, get hotter, etc. My suggestion is definitely to figure out the problem before driving the car anywhere long distance. A couple short trips is probably not going to cause undue damage, but if you have a way to drive a different car until you get the misfire fixed, I would hold off on even the couple short trips.
