The lead vehicle further includes one or more seals cooperatively including first and second side leg sections positioned on the chassis laterally outwardly of the trailer coupling interface and a cross section positioned forwardly of the trailer coupling interface. The one or more seals are configured to form a barrier between the chassis and a portion of the tow vehicle.
