Ranger gets Roush Spoiler at Tailgate

[Blown]

I couldn't pass-up a spoiler for 25 bucks, 46 with shipping it. I found that http://www.hillbankmotorcorp.com/ranger19982005.html is carrying some left over Roush parts.

So what does Flow Illustrator show it does? It's not a big result, cause the spoiler isn't that big. I was hoping it might clip the air off neater making for less drag. You can see it does make for less drag higher on the back of the tailgate, but the pool of stagnant, draggy air moved down the tailgate and got larger there.........My illustrations with a wing shows better result for drag reduction. I would likely have to adapt a wing or make it myself and I don't have time for that.
A larger spoiler is needed to create more downforce and greater drag comes with that. I didn't want to create a bunch more drag so this little spoiler is it for me. I like the way it looks and it does provide a little downforce.

It did more than I would have thought with the curls behind the truck though. Dunno if it is a good thing or a bad thing but it changed it quite a bit.

I think it looks great. It is not a huge spoiler and it goes with the looks of the truck.
