If you really want "good" aero, put a trailing v on the back. Most of the drag comes from the rear. But it will be a pain accounting for the extra 4 foot when backing up, unloading etc. But you could save some serious gas if done right, imo.

I've started to notice the 18 wheelers have those pull out flaps that make the rear a trailing V along with the side skirts....I've always wondered how much it helps.
