I think a lot of that maybe where your at. I know in rural Oregon I never had a problem, also never had a problem prior to getting a four door crew cab. But in downtown Portland it was a bit of a problem, both parking and lane width. Down here it's a major problem most places. Merida is one of the oldest cities in North America, the streets simply were not designed for automobiles, yet alone a long truck. Drivings a pain but can be done. Buses do it. But parking is not easy.
I've had a truck most of my adult life too. I had a standard cab and an extended cab prior to this truck. They were both easier to park. This thing so long it's a problem. I have a back up alarm that tells me when I'm within 3, then 2 and finally a foot from something behind me. The turning radius is so large it's hard to pull in or out of spaces.
