Oh, dude, technically it's not illegal to drive with your truck's tailgate down in Tennessee. But like, it's not the safest move either, you know? Your stuff might fall out, and you'll look like you're trying to air out your truck's backside. So, like, use your judgment, man.
No, it has been shown that driving with the tailgate down creates a sort of wind drag that actually decreases gas mileage. The article I read did not address driving with the tailgate off, however.
Not only is gas mileage not improved by driving with the tailgate down or removed, it gets worse. Counter-intuitively, driving with the tailgate down increases the aerodynamic profile and wind resistance, degrading fuel economy. (Mythbusters recently debunked the myth. See link.) See the Related Link for "Mythbusters Episode #43" at the bottom left.
In Alabama, it is not illegal to drive with your tailgate down. However, it is important to ensure that any cargo being transported is secured properly to prevent it from falling out, as failing to do so could lead to a violation of laws concerning unsafe loads. Additionally, if the tailgate is down and obstructs the driver's view or creates a hazard, it could result in a citation. Always check local regulations for any specific requirements.

In West Virginia, it is generally legal to drive with the tailgate of a pickup truck down, as long as the load is not extending beyond the legal limits and is secured properly. However, it's important to ensure that nothing is obstructing the driver's view or creating a hazard for other drivers. Always check local laws and regulations, as they can vary and may have specific requirements regarding load safety.

A lot. The driving is illegal, and the drinking is illegal, and so if the combination of the two. So there would be massive dirt going down with the cops. And your mum.
