An aerodynamic drag reducing device for a pickup which has a main top panel and two opposed side panels which is mounted to the cab of the pickup truck upon the aft facing, rearward surface of the truck cab that contains the rear window. The aerodynamic drag reducing device is mounted to the back of the truck cab along the upper edge and the two opposed side edges of the truck cab rear window perimeter. Installation of the aerodynamic drag reducing device effectively increases the fuel efficiency of the pickup truck by reducing the low air pressure region created behind the truck cab while the pickup truck is in motion through the atmosphere.
