Claim 0:
1. An aerodynamic drag reducing cover apparatus configured for mounting at least partially behind a cab and at least partially over a bed of a pickup truck at least when the aerodynamic drag reducing cover apparatus is at a deployed configuration, the aerodynamic drag reducing cover apparatus comprising:
an aerodynamic cover assembly including:
a first end with a contour configured to substantially match a contour of an adjacent portion of the cab at least when the aerodynamic drag reducing cover apparatus is mounted to the pickup truck and at the deployed configuration; and
a sloped surface arrangement extending between a first end and a second end at least when the aerodynamic drag reducing cover apparatus is at the deployed configuration, the first end of the sloped surface arrangement adjacent the first end of the aerodynamic cover assembly at least when the aerodynamic drag reducing cover apparatus is at the deployed configuration, the sloped surface arrangement extending rearwardly and sloping downwardly from the first end to the second end of the sloped surface arrangement at least when the aerodynamic drag reducing cover apparatus is mounted to the pickup truck and at the deployed configuration;

wherein the aerodynamic drag reducing cover apparatus forms an aerodynamic shape when mounted to the pickup truck at least when at the deployed configuration, and
wherein the aerodynamic drag reducing cover apparatus provides access to the bed of the pickup truck when mounted to the pickup truck at least when at a retracted configuration.
