That, and also I suspect it has as much or more to do with weight than turbulent aero wake (the amount of dust the wheels pulverize underneath them). At the Black Rock Desert, a big truck kicks up a dust trail many times larger than a car. - of course, I guess it probably has a bigger turbulent aero wake behind it, too - - - -
