An aerodynamic drag reducing apparatus is adapted for mounting behind a vehicle. The apparatus includes a first actuator that may reside adjacent one or more lock-rods of a rear door of the vehicle. The first actuator is adapted to deploy a first aerodynamic panel and/or frame of an aerodynamic assembly. The first actuator may be retracted by a tension member. A second actuator is adapted to deploy a second aerodynamic panel and/or frame of the aerodynamic assembly. When an operator or other means moves the second aerodynamic panel to a stowed position of the second panel, tension is developed in the tension member, and the first actuator is thereby retracted. The retraction of the first actuator may move the first panel to a stowed position of the first panel.
