Towing Question

I have a 2010 Diesel towing a 20' car hauler. The hauler is taller than the truck and it is like pulling a billboard down the highway. I have seen some fairings on other trucks that are pretty simple setups, but I am not finding them online. Can anybody point me in the right direction. I do not want to drill into the truck. I have seen some with suction cups and straps.

Thanks,

Troy

I pull trailers all the time have tried 2 or 3 kinds of wings, I have not seen any change in mpg. My 2 cents, don't waste your money.

I tow the same.. those fairings really only work for 5th wheel type tow vehicles where you can keep the air up over the trailer too. on my longbed that would all just crash back down cause of the distance to the trailer front.

I have thought about adding a bubble nose to the trailer.. but I don't think it would make enough difference..
