Tell her not to practice parking near me

Nice looking truck... too bad about it not coming with a Cummins

I posted the pic on facebook, she tagged herself in the cab - I moved the tag to the back tire.

It's a long ass bed, best backed into a parking space. She's working on mastering that. We're parallel parking this weekend... well, practice. If she can park this thing, she can park anything.

I parallel parked a Lincoln Town Car on my driver test.

You would think that but my father, who has been a truck driver all his life, could probably parallel park a big truck better than he could a little car.

I was pretty good at dancing a large truck around when I had that 3/4 ton Dodge brick.
I would throw it in reverse and whip back into a parking spot with enough ease to raise a good many eyebrows.
It's definitely a skill you have to work on.

My perfect work truck would have the Cummins engine, Allison trans, Ford chassis/suspension, and a Chevy body parked atop it all.

Dodge Ram = Expensive shipping crate for a Cummins
Engine is the only thing worth keeping.

My parents have a similar pickup, but 4x4. I parallel parked it, with a 28' goose neck livestock trailer hooked up. I was impressed with myself.

I prefer the ford body, but Chev interior. And you can keep the Allison. JUNK. Ok stock, but can't handle more than about 400 hp without mods.

I know two guys with F250's and they love them. One pulls his 29' camper to the mountains and the other guy pulls his Porsche race car to different tracks in an enclosed trailer and both have had nothing but good things to say.

One guy does have a few mods done to his and the other guy only has a Superchips tuning program installed but it makes a pretty big difference with the diesel applications.

I'm the same way. Learned to parallel on a huge ass dodge ram. Takes a bit of getting used to in a smaller car.
