Air deflector for truck and trailer
Wondering if anyone uses one of these We'll be putting about 7K miles towing our toy hauler in a few weeks. A fellow I know has a similar spoiler and says he pick up a extra 60 miles per tank full on...

On a pick up truck with a TT it will not work well. there is too much of a distance from the cab (where the deflector mounts) to the front of the TT. a fifth wheel would be a better trailer as the front of that is very close to the cab. I have a deflector on my Excursion. it is mounted at the very rear of the X. for me it was a noticeable improvement! I gained about .6 mpg towing. you can feel the it working because the X isn`t working as hard to move the trailer through the air. I can now stay in O/D a good percentage of the time. and judging by the bug line on my trailer (the very top 6") is all the bug splatter I get. I found it for $75 on CL. the deflector paid for itself on our trip to Myrtle Beach.
Here is my deflector.
