    The stamped letters on the 3rd Gen tailgate for sure creates more downforce.

    I figured it was for drag vortices or whatever the frak they're called, like the dimples on a golf ball

    Guys we also forgot about crawl control! For sure it creates better rotational momentum that way there are less vibes after truck is lifted

    Hey brother, hopefully by the end of today you will have discovered a feature of TW called the ignore button. You will be a little busy but ultimately it will be well worth your efforts
    Have at it and remember, any crash you can walk away from is a good crash

    But without the peanut gallery that showed up here, the thread would've been buried with no replies.
    It's received a much better fate than that.
