Our trucks are so poor aerodynamically, that simple and small changes can be gratifyingly effective. The Ford EcoBoost is not just all about the engine. The lighter frame helps. And the small aero tweeks help too. I am just pointing out how small changes such as a chin spoiler, an aero bed cap and active engine cooling shutters could put you well over your target.
