No difference.

In order to alter downforce noticeably (which would decrease fuel economy....) you would need some flavor of air deflector actually designed to increase downforce. A wing of some sort.....

Not like it really matters in any event. Aerodynamic downforce is a tool of racers, used to get the most traction for high speed cornering. Something a truck will NEVER be good at.

Wouldn't happen to be sitting inside, at your computer, bored out of your mind, while it is COLD and snowy out by any chance?

Which is why I asked "really"? I mean, are you that bored? Just kidding with you man....If you really, really want to know, go out and conduct some experiments mythbuster style....thats the only way you'll know.
