Hi there, yeah .. um ... removing the tailgate .. a no no. While in the closed position an open bed will form an air bubble to divert air over the bed for drag reduction. Running open tailgate negates all that and the flow seperation causes more drag and less benefits. Obviously, well designed covers like the one BONDO designed are optimal, but heck even a standard flat tonneau is better than open tailgate.
