> [@slwrthnu](#): > > are you serious? go fucking learn how to drive. i could parallel park my 2500 with no camera, and that is as long as most vehicles are going to get (of course a quad cab would of been longer). and i use to be able to park it with the trailer attached to it better then most people could their regular vehicle once i drove around with it a couple times. problem isn’t people driving big cars, its knowing how to drive. i laugh when people come in to my job thinking they need a back up camera. people are just lazy. i actually made a typo, i just noticed. its supposed to be “now used to” i parallel park fine. you can park whatever, as long as ur used to it. ---

i dont see toyota tundras pulling 9 ton trailers with excavators…that would just be silly and unsafe, you might as well tow trailers with a kia. My truck wieghs in at around 7000 pounds and i get 20+ mpg. As for parking, i can back up a trailer better than most people in cars, you just need to do it everyday. ---

one other thing i dont like about the large trucks and suv’s is that i cant see shit past em when im behind one in traffic. i always try to get around one. i cant see thru its windows because of how high up they are and a lot of em brake late and i dont like doing that. its like driving behind a wall, i cant see around the sides either. it sucks. ---
