FORD[...], I think you are on the right track. I don't see much low fruit to pick. You've tightened the nut behind the wheel very well indeed based on all your info and current FE not too shabby at all for such a rig. I wouldn't over think front end mods at least not just yet. Ideal attached flow up front and along the sides tends to amplify suction drag at the large flat rear. If you could trade off some percentage of volume capacity of the box I could see a FE return via cleaner, smaller wake. That could also synergize with front end optimizations. Honestly, for 10-25% improved FE you should expect a different "look" to the truck. I believe it's possible to please the air without offending the eyes. If this line of thought holds your interest I would try to sketch something; I just need to make a little time. Either way, keep up the good work and thanks for sharing!
