With the cost of gas and diesel increasing, truck owners are exploring various ways to improve fuel efficiency. One common question is whether lowering the tailgate can actually help save money on fuel.
There are differing opinions on the effects of an open tailgate. Some believe it may reduce aerodynamic drag, while others argue it could lead to increased turbulence and lower efficiency.
Ultimately, the impact of driving with the tailgate down remains uncertain, and truck owners may need to consider their specific driving conditions and habits before making a decision.
