I know Im late to the game here, but I really believe that some vehicles are definitely better with the tailgate up. My main car is a 70 El Camino, and during a few back to back 1/4 mile runs i consistently saw 2-3 mph higher with the tailgate UP! I think that the relatively shallow bed depth plays a part as well.
