Yup. And you know why that is of course ??
( Surely )

On a related thought -
If you opened the back ( passenger compartment) windows of the SUV, as well as the tailgate window, you might find that there would be some sort of airflow through the cabin that changes the wake in some way.
Since you have a mess of seats and other obstructions in the pathway of the air, ... who knows, it might even be worse. I would think the turbulence would tear the air all to hell and make it even worse ... but who knows ?
It would be an interesting and extremely easy, no modification experiment.
( Except maybe folding down the seats to make a cleaner pathway for the airflow. )

Anyone here have an SUV with a tailgate window that goes down ?

( Just be sure and put the windows up when stopped - carbon monoxide !! )

I think we already talked about this sort of thing in another thread ( The SUV with a back window open topic )


SO ... back on topic.
