Correct, everything has to be tested In wind tunnel &outdoor w/a fuel consumption device& what looks good on paper and C.flow devices maybe worse in the real world. what I said could be a bad idea-for a variety of reasons.However,Maverick rear is higher than the front while the Firebird was not...
Right on 18 inch wheels-use Tesla wheel covers and raised the front 1 inch the angle of the windshield will be improved hitting the wind to reduced coefficient of drag-probably
Best to test in a wind tunnel
Thank you I sincerely appreciate it! I think thereās a bunch of analytical minds on this post!
Hereās a challenge for the super smart! If you do a 1 inch lift in the front and level out maverick The windshield angle would lower the coefficient of drag. How much would that improve mpg@75mph?š¤š§
A 6 foot 2driver fits with a 6ft2,passenger in the rear maverick. If you lifted the Maverick or lower the other truck visually it wonāt seem as different, or slightly bigger tires on the Maverick than the truck
Someone fit 30 1/2 inches aggressive tread with no lift. I was thinking 1 inch lift in the front only,31 1/2 inch should work. This way youāre not messing with the stress on a lot of components& windshield is slightly more aerodynamic..
Co. Of drag shouldnāt matter that much at speeds below 25 miles per an hour i.e. city driving& Rolling resistance of tires will have greater impact at slower speeds.
Itās entirely possible that it could enhance the aerodynamics. slightly helping to maintain linear airflow.Probably would have to test it in an air tunnel. My guesstimate itās not hurting,possibly could be slightly helping..
I was all for the carbonize gray then when I actually saw one in person I noticed in the sunlight you really didnāt see a contrast with the black parts so now Iām leaning toward going silver
