That's the 2014 Ford F-150 Pickup Trailer Towing Selector. Frontal Area is on page 3.
Thank you very much! John's getting ready for a big family reunion,so it may be awhile before he catches up.
Car dealers,you gotta love
em!
It looks like the Prowler 5th-wheel isn't 'hurting' the truck,but 9.3 ave. mpg is a bit of a hit,mileage-wise.He's seen double-digit mpg,depending on grades/winds.
The Prowler has a semi-bulbous nose and 'Don Bur' descending roofline,and is fully belly-panned.
We'll have to wait 'til his boat tail is finished and tested to see what benefit that's gonna give him.
But it looks like Ford would prefer he streamline the 97-sq-ft,to a degree that its drag doesn't exceed that of a garden-variety 60-sq-footer.
Thanks again for the eagle-eye!
