Just curious why are you switching to a LB?
I agree it makes it easier towing but not as good as a driver once you're parked.
Only if you convince yourself it is so hast to park!!! :S
They drive and park just fine, my youngest daughter, aced her drivers test in a long bed Club cab F250.
There's a bigger difference between a long bed club and a long bed crew than you think. My daily driver (Company truck) is a long bed crew and my personal TV's are standard bed crews and although I can pull them all in just about the same places there is a big difference in the ease of doing it with the shorter wheel base truck. This choice is going to be one of preference. I have no need for a long bed truck because I can haul what ever I need with it. When there comes a time I can't put it in the bed of the truck because it is 1.5' shorter I will just take a trailer. That's what the hitch on the back is for. The longest thing I've ever hauled in my 6.5' bed was 16' lumber so I guess if it's over 16' I'll just have to get my trailer.:B
BTW, I aced my CDL test in a truck that was 60' long but I would have also aced it in a 75' long truck. They would have given me more space to parallel parked the longer truck.;)
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
