True, but difficulty is a mind set. I daily drive my 2001 Quad Cab Ram Long Bed, I can park with ease either in a Parking lot or Parallel. I have also parallel parked it with a GN horse trailer attached. I think many that are worried about size and fit don't DD their TV, maybe once in a while, but have a small DD for mileage, so now they are not accustomed to the size.
I have a hard time parking DW's PT Cruiser Rag Top!! :h
Russ your Quad cab 8' box truck is 15" short than a CC long box. In and garage or Safeway lot, 15" is a lot. My new CC short box is shorter than your truck. Chris
Well the solution to that is backing in rather than diving in, easier and safer when leaving.
To me 15" would not matter that much. I can't get any truck other than a Ridgeline in our garage, and it is currently reserved for the Rag Top.
The point that some of us are trying to make is that it's really a preference thing. It really don't have anything to do with garage space. I can put to CC LB Dually s side by side in one of my garages and still have room for your wife's rag top. Some of us like to be able to pull into a parking spot that is 90* to the road and not have to back up to get a second shot at it to get straight or have to back in. Some of us don't mind leaving the tailgate down when hauling something 8' long. There is pluses and minuses to everything one just has to choose whats best for them and what they can deal with.
No one is saying you can't park a long wheel base truck in the same spot as a short wheel base truck we are just saying it is easier with a shorter truck. If I didn't need the extra seat I would have a regular cab short bead SRW diesel.
