I would rather use OEM tailgate, that is more secure when parked in CG. I don't think you would notice any mileage difference, but maybe a little less turbulence. I would just make sure to have some good flaps on the truck, to deflect rocks/mud. I would not bother with diamond plate either. If you tow off hi-way, on gravel etc, your experience may be different than mine.

On paved roads it's not that much of an issue tho I saw some posts about CA roads being a problem.
