For the purposes of this thread you have the wrong combination!

X-Cabs will be more aero than standard cabs.

That said, IIRC most pickups are credited with .44-.46ish Cds, while the latest and greatest "fuel economy" versions of full size pickups are claiming about .41. It's something, but it doesn't cause me to dream about huge fe improvements.
