An apparatus behind a passenger cab of a pickup truck may provide access to an interior of a pickup truck box, when retracted, and a cover, when extended. The apparatus, when extended, may produce an aerodynamic shape that significantly reduces drag on the pickup truck. The apparatus, at least when retracted, may allow rear visibility. Extension and retraction of the apparatus may be motorized and may further be done remotely and/or automatically. The apparatus may include a plurality of moveable panels linked together, and/or the panels may slope. Adjacent panels may be linked together by one or more hinges. A pickup truck may include such an apparatus.
