It kind of looks like the air would be able to reattach onto the tent bag, so that should help aerodynamics. I do not know how much a tent like that would weigh, I have handled plenty of heavy Army ones, but wouldn't that truck weigh around five thousand pounds?
Should be over 7 thousand, maybe closer to 8. Weight probably doesn't make much difference. I'd love to see Testing with same situations for the three situations, to see a calculable difference.

Edit:

A search shows closer to your estimate, just under 5 k for what I was looking at, but it depends on features. Either way, closer to 5 than 7 or 8.
