Do You Know? Help on drag question
I joined EcoModder to find the answer to two questions. I have sent several querys / PMs to individuals but have not gotten an answer. Below is one:
Hi, I did what you said. I have read years worth of threads on EcoModder and other forums. And I have spent weeks of time researching on the Internet using various search terms. My question remains unanswered.
On a Pickup truck with a aeroshel bed cover. On the Trailing edge of the aeroshell to tailgate junction. Do you know if any spoiler lip / ridge / shelf or whatever it might be called can help the after-body drag behind the tailgate?
Most cars today have a little lip either on the roof dropoff or trunk dropoff. Even the Kammbacks. I cannot find out if this is just styling or is it functional in reducing afterbody drag? Since so many have it I think functional because the Mfg are doing lots more to improve gas mileage. Even the Prius (see the little spoiler lip under the window). Do You know the answer?
