      I will never understand why truck owners love backing into stalls.

        Ass end can hang over the grass behind the curb so you aren’t sticking into the parking lane any further than you need to, and you can see when you pull out so you don’t run over anyone’s kid.

        Pretty obviously.

          My experience is that their ass end ends up hanging over the sidewalk, and the tow hook takes an extra foot or so.

        • Easier to fit into tighter spots
        • Easier to get the vehicle straight and on the middle of the slot
        • Safer as you’re far more likely to hit a person/car when backing out onto the street rather than backing into a parking slot that you can see in the mirrors in it’s entirety
        • Faster to leave if you’re in a hurry (probably why it’s called assault parking)

        This is my first truck but I’ve always parked my vehicles this way.
