The “frontal area” of mine is different than a flat front although ostensibly the same size. It comes down to HP demand. In which case mine is 20% lower (as this also involves other aero qualities included).
It’s crosswinds that matter. And a Ranger is a poor choice. I’m in no way an advocate of pickup trucks —that’s for all the Johnny come latelys around here, I spent the first twenty using cars — it’s that it’s a really unstable vehicle. Almost at the top of the list for rollovers and single vehicle fatalities. Obvious problems with staying planted.
Better Aero is much more than frontal area. That figure won’t yield desired result.
Those who believe trailer weight the problem to be solved, well, . . . .
