wind drag/weight conversion

I hope this doesn't stir anything up.
I heard an interesting comparison idea from a friend the other day.
He said with a truck pulling a trailer.
For every foot the trailer extends above the roof line of the truck, it approximates another thousand pounds of towed load.
Has anybody else heard this ratio, or does it sound close to you?
