How do I park this thing.

[RoyBoy]

I usually take 4 parking spaces in a lot, usually on the outside edge. I'm sure some people look at the truck and figure I'm a stuck up jerk, but oh well. I don't get any door dings that way
I can't remember the last time I had to parallel park. Even with the bug

It took some getting used to going from my 97 ECLB to the 06 CCLB. The 06 is 27" longer than the 97. When I test drove it, I missed the parking spot by ALOT. You know you look cool when you need to make a 3 point turn to get into a parking spot.

Congrats on the truck. When I got mine, I used orange cones in an empty lot until I got used to the larger truck (I had an old '84 Toyota 4 x 4)

Welcome aboard!!! I hear ya on the parking. Many years ago, I drove a 60 passenger school bus (Ford B-600). I learned to drive it backwards almost as good as going forwards. When I had my 250 SWB CC, I backed it into most all parking spaces unless it was one where I could pull through to the space in front where I could still drive forward out of there. I still back into spaces with the F-150 and the Explorer. It's just so much easier to drive forward out of a space no matter what vehicle you're driving.
