Never owned a wide truck....how do you handle this type of parking lot?

My wife commanded a fast food drive through trip yesterday. 360 camera is mos-def your friend. I used it and nothing more to navigate the turn, no shrubbery crushing, curb rubbing or other impacts to report.

That is the only place that I had a problem is the double drive though inside lane...

Beware of parking garages.
It's the height, not the width.

eh, not sure about that. Saw a Gen 2 in real life for the first time yesterday - it was parked so I had plenty of time to take a close look.

They are not that tall. I think (and hope) that the much vaunted off road prowess is due to the sophisticated suspension and wheel articulation and not due to sheer ground clearance (which it does not seem to have a lot of).

Feels like a tonka compared to the Pete. 25 more horsepower than the Pete. Still think I will use Pete for the heavy pulls. And Pete is 5 to 7 mpg

Simple solution... wait outside the parking lot for a driver in a Prius, drive the Raptor onto the Prius, and piggyback your way in. The extra altitude afforded by your new Prius lift kit should allow for plenty of side-to-side clearance between the truck and the bollards/poles.

The bonus to this approach is that you get free parking, too... courtesy of the Prius driver!



Another bonus is you take one less Prius off the road [emoji4].

Thinking of running a 0 offset wheel which will only make me 2" wider... I have some concerns as my current truck with it's Tow Mirrors barely fit places but it's the price I must pay to drive a bad ass truck.

Just avoid parking garages jet. I'll be running 0 offset also
