Fellow NADS,,,A quick question please.....So the difference  between the cabin of the ute,, To the front of the van,,

Is about 10feet,,,Really to much space for that airflow stuff,,it was a thought..

Is that what you guys are telling me,,or ??

Thanking you ALL.

Towed my current van with a Falcon Ute. Then towed same van, same ute but with a canopy. If anything, the airflow over the canopy caused more drag that without the canopy. Will never know now as I sold the ute last week. About to head off with a new Ranger Crew Cab, no canopy, but same van.

Good choice Spiderman, you will love the Rangers and judging by the fuel consumption figures I see for some other tugs love the fuel consumption too.

Philbe - I'd imagine any difference canopy/no canopy would pale to insignificance compared to the wind drag of the caravan.
Good Luck.
ps...don't be shy to ask questions which is what the forum is about.
