Finding the sweet spot in Slate truck shape

[Alan]

We all recognize that Slate trucks have a unique look, but the real challenge is figuring out how to blend that with aerodynamics. You might have noticed that some designs slice through the air more efficiently, while others stick to that classic boxy vibe.

So, what do you think? How can Slate strike the perfect balance between maintaining the truck’s signature style and enhancing its aerodynamics?

Yeah, keep that boxy shape but smooth out some of those edges. I messed around with my old pickup's grill once to get the air flowing better it helped a little and didn't mess with the look

Slate could go for small changes you know, like maybe angled mirrors or a smoother roof. It wouldn't mess with that classic shape too much. I used to work at a body shop and we saw how even small panel changes could make a car move easier. So, I think it's more about those little things than a total makeover.

I think you need to mix the good looks with some hidden tricks that help it move through the air better. Like, I helped a friend fix up his old truck, and we put panels under it and used a windshield that sloped back a bit. It still looked old-school, but it drove easier and felt better on gas. Slate could do something like that keep the strong lines people like but add better airflow where you don't see it much.
