This research went a great distance towards answering some of my questions. It also created some new ones. For example, I'm trying to puzzle out the elevation at which the horizontal slice planes were taken.

Anybody know what's up with the blunt triangular protrusion in front of the tailgate in figures 54, 55, 66 and 67? Not the underbody; I know they slice the axles. I gather they are somewhere between the top and bottom of the box. Hopefully they were all taken at the same elevation.

I'm guessing the open bed detail neglected wheel wells. The eddies inside the bed seem to confirm that. It's a minor detail if focusing on covers. Still, I wonder what effect it could have on the baseline and relative difference.

Yup, I definitely see more hours staring at these plots.

Cheers
