What does engine size have to do with aerodynamics? Two trucks of the same model and body configuration with different engines have the same aerodynamic profile. The very slight differences underneath in the driveline would have negligible effects. You are correct that the cab and bed sizes will make a difference, though.

Tailgate nets hurt milage. They do not block enough air to cause the air bubble in the bed like a tailgate. It acts like a parashute, catching air

Less than a year younger than me, she's completely legal in any NATO country.

I'm sticking with Kari, though, if we get to pick...

According to the great Wikipedia, Taylor Swift is 19...

Also to put my two cents in (well, on the original topic), tailgate up. If it's down, it could bounce around and actually break off if you hit bumps too fast. Also, it's like the fourth wall to the "house" that is the bed of the truck and provides stability for the other three sides. With the tailgate down, the bedsides shake around a lot more than they should and the sheetmetal could warp over time.

So, what you gentlemen are saying is that maximum fuel efficiency is garnered with the truck shut off, the tailgate down and _____________________(insert name here) polishing it with her blouse? Works for me! Wonder why they didn't try that scenerio on Myth Busters? Maybe they did and it just didn't make final edit.

When it comes time to drive away, though, I would put the tailgate up.
