That's what I had read as well, however, ford believes it helps aerodynamics. Would it be something specific to that truck? Or would it work better on mine since the air hits the cover before the tailgate, THEN would use the spoiler? Would it just create downforce?
So many questions... it's really fairly specific to my case i think, but if the big 3 decided to put it on their trucks, and now Dodge and Ford both actually make it in the sheet metal on their tailgates instead of just the plastic parts on top now... well... it makes me think it's gotta do SOMETHING.
