Cool Story, Bro.

No tailgate would further destroy your already horrible gas mileage.

Did mythbusters ever test this? I know they test A/C verse windows down.

It pretty much doesn't matter. I get a kick out of the rednecks in my area that think they are helping.

I have seen two tests on this and it's within 2-3% in mpg. Which is almost nothing. You are better off managed your brick of a foot.

Now if you are going by looks, I'll laugh even more.

When I'm done school and such its what I plan to own. Trucks much to expensive for a single mom of 2, and a student.

Yeah, that's how I am with my Volkswagen. Amazingly fun to drive... but only gets like 23-24mpg. IDGAF though.

Driving with the tailgate down actually increased drag on the pick-up and caused it to consume fuel faster than the identical truck driven with the tailgate up. It was later revealed that the closed tailgate creates a locked vortex flow that created a smoother flow of air over the truck. With the tailgate down, the trapped vortex was dissipated and the drag increased.

I retract my previous statement. Why have a truck if you can't have sex in the bed of it...

Back of a Jeep Cherokee once, that was awesome.

My favorite was in the back of an old winter beater... a 92 Mercury Topaz... with blown rear suspension... so the whole car rocked back and forth REAL bad. We'd start laughing too hard because you could hear the gas sloshing around in the tank.
