Not simply unaerodynamic, it's also factory-fitted with the 250cu.in. straight-6...

Despite the grille block, I don't think this is very aerodynamic.

I wonder if it overheats easily.

I don't care to guess the Cd, but I have a soft spot for vehicles like this, the Unimog, the Pinzgauer, and many other boxy Cabin Over Engine (COE) military trucks.
