I don't understand this comment.
Pickup trucks are simply 2-door, or 4-door sedans, without trunklids ( boots ) as far as the automakers are concerned.
The 2013 Dodge RAM 1500 HFE was Cd 0.363, according to Chrysler Corp.
I found my notes from 2014. The Ford F-150 Crew Cab, 4X4, 6.5-foot bed was rated at Cd 0.402.
The current F-150 would be similar, and not 'higher'.
The Ford F-150 LIGHTNING is reported to be ' 7% lower drag ', which places it in Cd 0.3738 territory.
The lack of the ICE cooling system could probably take care of the difference all by itself.
This is 'why' AirShaper scares me off.
