It's the big lift and heavy treads, dude. More turbulence, more surface area, more drag, and much more rotating mass and rolling resistance.

Slam it on skinny ass 30" tires and 17" wheels, make a smooth front bumper with a bigger air dam, block off the grille, and make a full flat panel under tray with a sloped bed cap and some rear wheel fairings as well as giving the stance some rake, and I bet these trucks could manage 25mpg, easy.

Got my step finished today, I love it! I took my tonneau cover off for a little while so this step makes it super easy to get in and out of it. I also bought some bed lights a couple of days ago, just got to get those wired up.

Its a little dirty from being used already, its been super muddy lately up in PA.

I read an article a while ago where a dude did aero mods to a pickup. Belly pan added 28% to the fuel efficiency. Aero cap added 11% to that. Add wheel fairings to the rear, a nice drop, and smaller and lighter wheels and tires with an air dam bumper and it's possible.

Hell, if we take Demon's number and add those two main mods, we're looking at theoretically 28mpg, already. And that's from 20mpg as is.

But I won't bug you guys anymore with my crazy ideas. Lol.
