    Below cab height is the way to go. Way better than my old setup that sat 6 inches above the cab.

    a 4-5 mpg hit is crazy. i mounted my tent in april/may of 2020.

    everyone says they get a hit, but never post actual numbers

    i do need to update my table. been awhile since i entered some numbers
