Yesterday I went to an agricultural show, mostly intending to take a look at the trucks. It honestly impressed me that some tractors seem to have much better aerodynamics than one Toyota Hilux that was fitted with a box body...

I don't think so. I already had my dog when I joined, almost 11 years ago.

A few years ago I wouldn't even lurk about the eventual drag penalty from that rack-and-pinion steering rack fitted to this 2nd-gen Grand Cherokee I usually see roaming around.

I still remember the owner of this '31 Ford telling me about his plans to fit a 4300 Vortec V6, but I never expected to see it with those truck-style exaust stacks.
