Tips on parking and driving a long bed, quad cab
Hey everyone,
So for those of you that drive long bed, quad cabs what tips do you have for parking and driving? Do you usually park far away and walk? What about fitting into tight spots? Is the long bed annoying to drive on a daily basis? Any feedback?
Thanks,
Zack

RE: Tips on parking and driving a long bed, quad cab
my quad cab isn't to bad.. but i do have trouble getting into small spots or when the people next to me park sh**y
i've accadently hit someone backing into a spot [:@]
but i've learned that if you can back in it makes life so much easier, find spots with no cars on the other side and then theres no chance of you hitting them when backing in.. or spots with no parking behind it. makes it so much easier to get out, and also getting in is easier too.

When ever I drive a larger truck / trailer than I'm used to, I walk arround all 4 cornors to get a visual referance for what I'm driving.
Than get in ,adjust your mirrors and drive it.
A quad cab long box is only three feet longer than a quad cab short box, the extra hieght of a 3/4 ton adds some worry when backing up, the bump and tap method will kill most cars.
I have a recieaver hitch and ball on my bumper, I don't practice the bump and tap, but the hitch is a fail safe as it is line with a cars bumper.
As for parcades, just aviod them unless you really know your trucks height.
I find the larger the viecle the easyer it is to drive, the smaller, the harder.
I don't have issues driving a long bed, but be careful when turning right handcornors, you don't want the rear wheals to ride the curb.

I have a 2500 QC LB, and i'm the ******* that takes 4 spots when he parks, lol!!!!
I only park where I can take 2 spots and I do park where no one wants to park. Never had any issue's parking or driving, my truck demands respect on the road and luckily its been givin respect.

As someone who grew up learning how to drive in a Ford 15 passenger van, and then having owned a olderF-250 ext cab long bed, I would say give yourself room. Park further out, and back in when possible. After driving those vehicles my QC SB is a piece of cake.
