Arrangements described herein include dynamic spoiler systems and methods for controlling such systems. The dynamic spoiler can include a housing operatively connected to a vehicle structure, such as a truck bed tailgate. The housing can have a lower panel, an upper panel, and an opening between the lower and upper panels. The dynamic spoiler can also include a fin moveable between a retracted position and one or more extended positions. In the retracted position, the fin can be substantially entirely located within a cavity defined by housing. In an extended position, the fin can extend at least partially out of the housing through the opening in a rearward direction.
