The air deflector on the roof isn't just for looks. It's to make the truck more aerodynamic when you tow a trailer behind it; hence, better fuel mileage. That's what I think at least.

Going to get one as soon as i locate source if price is not overwhelming. Heard 8,000 over price of megacab.
Some towing vehicle . The GCWR is 23,000 . All they do by adding all those extras is reduce your payload .

GVWR, GCWR, CCC.....all meaningless numbers. It will pull much more than that.

This truck had the 5.9 . Have they come up with an updated model with a particulate filter using those stacks ?
