Very succinct.

Stock gas mileage is 16 city/19 highway. This truck has over 424,000 miles with the original V6 engine and automatic transmission. The aero cap has a working removable hatch and the single wheel trailer can be disconnected. The trailer hitch has dual air shocks to dampen the bumps and oscillations from the trailer's short wheel base as well as an air spring/bag suspension to assist in the dampening. Best gas mileage to date at 65mph is 33mpg while towing the trailer. Estimating the aero cap weighs in at around 75lbs while the trailer is around 200lbs. There isn't any duct tape holding anything on and everything is bolted down or pinned down. This truck can be returned to a fully stock setup in about an hour. Gas cost savings to date has been over $4000 from the past 6 years which has paid for the truck, trailer, and good portion of the gas used.
