Now I remember more: I couldn't understand then (and I'm still baffled by it now) why a mesh tailgate would be better than tailgate removed or down. Laminar flow? Inadvertent vortex generator?
That jives with my recollection. The second episode they mention having to revisit it, but my senile brain can't remember the specifics.
I'd really be interested to see if anyone's done a wind tunnel test on the three configurations. I'll have to webcrawl for that one; if I find anything I'll...
There are actually two Mythbusters tests for this one. The first (which I remember better than the second) seemed to point out no tonneau cover is better than the other options, but they revisited the testing (second episode) which (if I remember the episode correctly) pointed to tonneau covers...
We use them in the trucks at the company I work for (though we put them in the armrest of our Gen4 Rams); we use them to hold iPad Minis. They're great.
To answer the title of the thread, yes. Yes, I am happy with the gas mileage.
I get nearly what I got with my previous truck ('14 Ridgeline, don't @ me), but 1/3 more cylinders, more power, and more capability. When I'm tooling around town I get high 20s/low 30s which is pretty fantastic.

Definitely must build a flat platform to bridge the space between the back seat and the back of the front...
I have your same issue and I use these two products from Griot's Garage (no this isn't sponsored by them, but I'm open to offers, Mr. Griot :LOL:):
Parking Mat (requires no drilling into the floor and doesn't move as my previous blocks did)
Wall-mounted Door Guards
Seems like there's a lot of not knowing what the update included (mine installed yesterday afternoon). This thread on the Wrangler forum implies it's mainly performance improvements and minor camera bug fixes.
Anyone else find any other nuggets of info?
I haven't used my warranty yet, but when I have about 2 months or 500 miles left on the original, I will take it in and complain about hearing knocking. I will have them take a look at the manifold bolts we're all familiar with. :cool:
