Hah, I back in no matter what I'm driving for these reasons. But in the Burb, backing in is the only option.

Ya know, it's ironic, but I usually pull in forward with Goldie.

Just thought about it. It does lead to some parking readjustment, though, in many cases. :anitoof:

You took yours drivers test in a prius? I was lucky i took my drivers test in a 1979 4 wheel drive suburban with snow on the ground. I dont know how it is in other states but in Illinois if you spin a tire while testing its an automatic failure. Good thing this suburban was severely underpowered and they disqualify ya for using 4 high lol. Then the old hag giving me my test made me parallel park that thing. Now i have this crew can dually and im trying to get used to backing my car trailer with it when tbe truck is longer than my trailer. Not to brag but im very good at backing trailers but i admit this is taking some getting used to. In my former job as a diesel mechanic i had to move and back 53' trailers with road tractors and i didnt have as much problem as i am with this dually and trailer lol. I just have to get used to the dually having the turning radius of the R.M.S. Titanic lol

I do agree with everyone else its different driving one of these . My C20 suburban is way different then driving my 1999 Silverado . Just drive it you'll get the hang of it .
