Hm.. I never found his difficult to drive. Have to swing a bit wider than my Rainier, but that is usual with a longer, larger truck. His drives down the road smooth as silk though. The mirrors do sit out there wide though!

i could hae gone all the way over but... attached to that yellow sign is a guard rail that goes the whole way across and the snow bank is a 4 foot straight drop off the other side. u can see how far i got but when i put it in park it slid down till the hitch hit the ground lol.

Maybe the fact that his is a quad cab with the mid length box and the additional 75 gallons of diesel he always carries with him makes it ride better? I think his rides quite nice.

i didn't mean going over, i just meant parking the front wheels just over the top, then it wouldn't have slid. but then you could've went to far, not a good thing.

did the PB not hold it from sliding?

guess having all 4 wheels on a hill of ice, it wouldn't have mattered anyways.
