I haven't found any info about how much wider it is, but i've seen several with queen mattresses in the back and they go wall to wall supporting that it is at least 86" (i'm taking a swag at ~3" either side interior to exterior at a bare minimum.

given how the mirrors look in relation to the sides, i'd take another swag at it is probably at least 12" wider than that, lets call it 8ft 4" wide for giggles.

i can't find any info on frontal dimensions so getting an idea of drag is going to delayed until i have one i can physically inspect i fear.

still, i think that there appears to be significant opportunity anyhow.
I agree. Quite a bit of low-hanging fruit and a number of vehicles we can be inspired by.
Drag is a direct function of wake area.
And there are a number of areas that can be cleaned up before we ever get to the trailing edges.
