2014 Chevy Express 2500 with 6 liter V8 engine. 16,000 miles on it. Moderately loaded with solar panels on roof. Daily driving around town 12.5. On a trip, pretty much all freeway 16 to 18.5. I tend to drive 70 to 75 so I think it might be a bit better if I slowed down, duh. Only thing that I...

I used three racks mostly because I had them and 2x3's for the slats (cheap) then I mount one 2 x 4 foot panel and with the brackets from the panel I didn't notice the curve at all. One other thing before I had anything on the racks the hamonic vibration noise was mind numbing until I tried...
