    I’ve seen semi drivers park 53 foot trailers in some very tight places, and on the flip side I see some of these big pickup truck owners not even be able to get it between the lines in an empty parking lot. Whether they need that size truck is another matter, but regardless, know your vehicle, or get something smaller.

      Supercrew and and a 5.5’ bed. Puts the wheel base at 157" (3.99m) and the overall vehicle length of 244" (6.2m)

      The turning radius on that thing is beyond terrible.

      Now a standard parking spot is 216" (5.49m) long and a compact is 192" (4.88m). Parking spots are not designed for vehicles that large at all. So parking them is a constant challenge that most often ends in failure.

    If you didn’t park nearby and are wearing non-descript clothing who would catch you if you keyed it casually in minecraft?
