A wake convergence device for a pick-up truck is provided. The wake convergence device is spaced from the top of a pick-up truck and from the sides of the pick-up truck. The wake convergence device is moveably coupled to an aft end of the cab of the pick-up truck. When the truck is not in motion, the wake convergence device is positioned around the aft end of the pick-up truck. When the truck is in motion, the wake convergence device is moved upward and raised from the cab of the pick-up truck.

The device of claim 1, wherein the top panel includes a leading edge and a trailing edge, wherein the leading edge rotates at least one of up or down with respect to the top of the cab. 7. The device of claim 1, wherein the top panel includes a leading edge and a trailing edge, wherein the trailing edge rotates at least one of up or down with respect to the top of the cab. 8. The device of claim 1, wherein the at least one side panel includes a leading edge and a trailing edge, wherein the leading edge rotates at least one of in or out with respect to the side of the cab. 9. The device of claim 1, wherein the at least one side panel includes a leading edge and a trailing edge, wherein the trailing edge rotates at least one of in or out with respect to the side of the cab. 10. The device of claim 1, wherein the wake convergence device moves to the deployed position when the pick-up truck reaches a pre-determined speed. 11. A wake convergence device for a pick-up truck including a cab comprising: at least one panel operably coupled to the cab of the pick-up truck; andan actuating device coupling the at least one panel to the cab, the actuating device moving the at least one panel between a stowed position and a deployed position, the at least one panel and the cab defining a first spacing therebetween in the stowed position, and the at least one panel and the cab defining a second spacing therebetween in the deployed position, wherein the first spacing is different than the second spacing. 12. The device of claim 11, wherein the second spacing is greater than the first spacing. 13. The device of claim 11, wherein the at least one panel is positioned at an aft end of the cab. 14. The device of claim 11, wherein, in the deployed position, at least a portion of the at least one panel is positioned aft of an aft end of the cab. 15. The device of claim 11, wherein the at least one panel includes a leading edge and a trailing edge, wherein the leading edge rotates at least one of up or down with respect to a top of the cab. 16. The device of claim 11, wherein the at least one panel includes a leading edge and a trailing edge, wherein the trailing edge rotates at least one of up or down with respect to a top of the cab. 17. The device of claim 11, wherein the at least one panel includes a leading edge and a trailing edge, wherein the leading edge rotates at least one of in or out with respect to a side of the cab. 18. The device of claim 11, wherein the at least one panel includes a leading edge and a trailing edge, wherein the trailing edge rotates at least one of in or out with respect to a side of the cab. 19. The device of claim 11, wherein the at least one panel moves to the deployed position when the pick-up truck reaches a pre-determined speed. 20. The device of claim 11, wherein the at least one panel is capable of breaking away from the actuating device.
