The website does not show a price. But to get one to electric open the tonneau cover to match would be some bling bling now.

I do have a power tonneau cover, on the remote too... but you are right, would be nice to see the price for it on the website

they claim power and MPG advantages yet all the windtunnel testing and nascar truck testing showed the opposite..

Cool idea though...
Not sure if I buy the hype ...

Q. How does it work?
A. Digital logic circuitry receives a speed signal from the vehicle's CPU to automatically open the tailgate at highway drag inducing speeds, then close before coming to a stop. Alternately, the tailgate can be manually controlled to fully open, close, or lock in any position at any time, using a 2-channel RF remote key-fob.
Q. Will installing Droptail on my truck improve mileage?
A. Our tests show highway mileage improvements between 5 - 10%. Improvements will vary depending on the vehicle, weather and driving habits.
Q. How can I get more power?
A. Reducing aerodynamic drag frees up available on-road horsepower for better acceleration.
Q. How is stability improved?
A. When in spoiler mode, a downward force is applied to the rear of the truck improving rear wheel traction, particularly beneficial on slippery or windy roads.

I wouldn't want it to be automatic but more on demand with a push button option- maybe it would stop those pesky phuckers who ride my bumper:tongue:

or mount a machine gun in the bed, so when you lower the tailgate its pointing right at them, that will keep them from getting too close :D
