After looking this Rav4 EV truck over, i can see that it's shape is not all that boxy.
The roofline has a subtle curve to it, and I'm sure the truck has break lines in the body work at all the right places.

I would love to see how much of a hit that the trucks wheels, and that massive hole above them added. I see a possible 'air-curtain' break at the corners of the bumpers ( the vertical fog lamps ) but when tested by Mercedes Benz on a different vehicle, these dropped the Cd count by only .01 .

I would bet that if this truck were produced as a car, the Cd figure could drop to the low twenties easy.
