so close flaco! I watched the runs waiting and waiting for you to hit 200! maybe go back to your roots a little bit and spray a small shot on top to get it there lol.

still badass either way! congrats!

i can see where traction due to the drag but how can it possibly be any worst at 200mph? then if it was up?

Maybe a bedcover would improve the aerdynamics a bit.

I think they said the nets for tailgates saved the most MPG's which I would think made it the most aerodynamic. This truck would be the perfect candidate to test this out on but at a higher level.

they tested

no tailgate
tailgate down
tailgate up
tailgate net
tonneau cover
