Degrees of ease (assuming full cap/ canopy):
1. Build square/flush with upright tailgate.
2. Extend the top plane only.
3. Extend in 3D, open the tailgate and place an aero-box there or build all as one.
Here is example #3- sort of, in diagram form.

Each one of the options above becomes increasingly time consuming and increasing difficult to get right. However if you start with option-1, you can gradually add on. Aerohead's T-100 is an excellent example of this.
I would not try a wing at the tail, it would just be asking to get vandalized. However a "Box Cavity" would be a little more durable. Do a forum search, several examples or at least studies of possible projects have been posted.
