They do work if they are adjusted correctly....the trailing edge needs to hit an intersecting line drawn from the forward tip of your hood to the tip of the front of the trailer at it's highest point

I use to tow a 28ft trailer with a gutless 302 ford f250. going down the hiway, flat out with no wind, I could go about 62 MPH. added the wing, and besides keeping the bugs off the trailer, top speed went up to 70!!!
It was still a pig, but i could almost keep up with traffic.
so they do work.

I just called the wing's manufacture for info on mounting brackets. No wing will do any improvents to my truck. Their tech guy told me the wing needs to be no more than 6' from the trailer an open pick up pulling a tag gets nothing It will work in a pick up with a goose

I had the same problem had 1 for a while it worked with the 5th wheel did nothing with my 32' tag.
To great a distance to the trailer, the air has a larger area to fall back in... I was in a design stage of a rubber cover that would mount to the cap of the truck and snap to the trailer(both the top and sides)
