the manly men who buy these trucks would not stand for an aerodynamic shape.
they want it to look boxy.

when Ford went to a rounded aero front around 1997, sales dropped off, but the next gen with a squarer front and sales rebounded.

same thing with big rigs. truckers resisted aero fronts, even though it was lots of $$ out of there pockets paying for feul
