Good links. The one I was refering to was the color picture in the first article.

Good info on the other links! Gee, maybe Ford was ahead of it's time with the aerodynamic late 90s F150. Get one with the v6, 5speed, lower it, airdam, underbelly tray, sloping canopy and one could see 30+ mpg fwy. Using only some of the more important aero features, a truck that looks and acts like a truck should still be able to see about 27 in a full size.

As there are so many trucks on the road seems maybe there should be a forum for trucks. One exists for motorcycles, trucks are as well very different than cars.
