2014 GMC Sierra Aerodynamics (with pics)
We just released pics of the new generation GMC short bed in the wind tunnel! It has a few smoke lines so you can see the ideal aero cap shape, and also a visual comparison between tailgate up and down. Check it out!

GMC Pickups 101: Busting Myths of Truck Aerodynamics





I've seen these in person and let me tell you- those front air dams are serious! Looks like they're finally putting some real effort into truck aero.

Cheers!

The wheels look aerodynamically hideous, as do the wheel wells.

I NEVER would have guessed a tubular running board to reduce Cd.

Look how stupid high it rides. Can't reach anything in the box. Lower it and the front end doesn't need to be five feet deep.

As they say, it has to look "trucky".
