OOoooo....even better....add a 7 pin trailer cord to plug into the back of the truck to suck 12V power and reduce your alternator load?

OOOOoooooo....eeeeeven better....do all these things plus an EV conversion and use the 12V power to charge your batteries while you drive?
If you could grapple a semi, you could get a free ride, but if you had a smrtcar, a Fiat, or something similar, if you grappled the top and could secure your wheels to the back, you could provide a boat tail! Everybody wins!
