AeroShield Wind Deflector

A few years ago we bought one of your wind deflectors. I think it was around 2009. My wife and I have been using that for trips since. We observe what we estimate to be about 20% improvement in fuel economy (from 10.8 to 12.7 MPG). A typical year is to travel about 7 thousand miles going from Florida to Maine and from North Carolina to Colorado. We mount the deflector when we start out and leave it attached for several months while we travel. When we don't have the 5th wheel trailer attached we fold the deflector down. This has proven to be a very durable unit that has more than paid for itself in savings on fuel. An added benefit is that we don't get a lot of insect splatter on the camper because the wind deflects them over the front along with the wind.

Light weight and easy to install. Too early to tell if it increases gas mileage as I haven 't had it out on the freeway for a distance yet.

Appearance is good. The only downside is that when it was left on without a 5th wheel trailer in tow, and put in a down or flat position, it is noisy. Not recommended to use when not towing.

Saw this product online and thought , YES!!! I need one for pulling my Trl , I drive truck for a living and have often wonder why people who pull trl's don't have a wind deflector like the big trucks ! People at icon were very helpful with the ordering process ,
I haven't done a long trip with it yet , but have done a trial run just local 20klm's without it up and then the same route with the deflector up ! The on board computer in the truck told me I used 5 ltrs less per 100klm's when the areo shield was up , so hoping that continues as we are doing a west to east coast trip (canada) later on this year , thanks Icondirect Chris H

We were nervous about installation and fit, ordering sight unseen from the internet. Icon direct communicated with us every step along the way. We got it from canada to Texas in 3 days. It came with everything needed for quick and perfect installation on our vehicle.

Bottom line: we are ordering more. Our real gas mileage savings is two or three times what they say on the web site.

By adding this it instantly increased my gas mileage by 20-25%! I am pulling a 28 ft trailer behind a 3/4 ton Yukon XL (SUV). I purchased some Yakima universal mounting brackets and attached to luggage rack as far back on roof as possible. I do not tow my trailer anymore without it. I could feel a difference immediately by the resistance the wind added.

Works great and easy to install.

While it will be a couple of weeks before the next trip, I will say its very easy to install. So much so I did myself with no assistance. Adjustment is also easy and I'll save the 5th star when I get a 20% + increase in MPG.

My trailer was designed with a Great Bug Catcher built in to the front.The Aeroshield was easy to install and did a great job sending the Bugs over the top of the trailer. It will save a lot of clean-up time after my travels.

I am on my first big trip. First day use about 2mpg more and today with headwinds was able to stay about 2mpg more as well. I hope it will cut down on bugs as well but mostly interested in getting improved gas milage.
