What if, I had a 3' pusher prop mounted in the center of the rear hatch?
And once I got out on the highway, I turned on about 10 HP of thrust?
Have you seen the cars/trucks with the little propeller stuck in the hitch receiver? You would have that but bigger.

Propellers are sensitive to incoming air direction. You would find such an arrangement would produce little or no thrust. But it would consume power thrashing in the air. Biggest advantage would be a deterrent to tailgaters.

The answer is....no. Just....no.
