Well, my trips are north east, then returning the opposite direction of
south west. Relatively flat ground. It's in south western Ontario, very
flat area.
And at 70 mph, it's 13-14 in both directions. I've tried with the tailgate
down and no difference. I'm very seriously thinking about a tonneau, but
i'll be trading this truck back in to get a quad cab in about 2 years, so i
think i'll get a soft tonneau to save money.
I'm outta work now, so maybe i will take it into the dealer and spend all my
time there. :)
I'm pretty sure that they'll just say that it's "within spec" and send me on
my way, but i got lots of time on my hands so i'll probably try it out.
