135Boom Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I saw this thing on myth busters that showed that running the stock tail gate in the up position gave the best gas mileage possible in reality. Not sure if it applies to every single truck, but I thought it was interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mesh was the best for fuel economy by 5%. http://kwc.org/mythbusters/2006/12/episode_64_more_myths_revisite.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
135Boom Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 AHHH....guess I missed that. I just watched the initial test and it was interesting WHY they were finding it was good to keep the tail gate up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
