I Bought Too Much Truck
I've read people say "No one ever complained about having too much truck when towing a travel trailer." That may be true, but I'm not towing my trailer yet, and I feel like I bought too much truck. ...

Back in when you can. or drive thru the 2 spots in a row so you can drive out the other side. Latter works unless it is a one way aisle........
30 years of driving crew cab std 8' bed trucks. ALso have 30 years driving my Navistar dump truck that is another 18" long in wheel base and 2' or so longer overall. The funny thing about the navistar, is it has a 54 degree front axle wheel cut, vs 45-50 on the three GM trucks. I can out turn the CC pickups but 5' or so. Reality, its easier to get into tight spots.
You WILL get used to it!!!
But I admit, my 1500 dual cab with a 6.5' short bed is nicer in many ways than the crew cabs. I just wish I could have found a heavier chassis version, ie one of them old styl 8600 gvwr 25 series trucks. THe current 10k+ SW 8 lug trucks are too much suspension IMHO for what I do.
