Work is no sweat for me...I can park both doors wide open and not touch the vehicle next to me, and I get the spot 5 feet from the door, and under an awning, but I own the building, so I guess that helps...if someone parks in my spot, I get to yell at them to move...but I dont get that luxury anywhere else....even at home I get the "bad spot"

I parked my truck one day and walked into the store. I was only taking up one spot and just knew I was gonna get a door ding. I was walking to the truck and saw a guy in a Honda civic getting out. I started laughing as he opened his door because I knew he was gonna hit my truck. That didn't concern me because he was opening the door with full force just in time for me to see him smack it on the running board. He was cursing up a storm as I happily jumped in the truck laughing at his new dent! LOL

nice now i see we dont have to worry about this. the only other vehicles we need to wirry about are other trucks, and they generally wont park in a tiny spot next to us. either way, i notice people in trucks are generally more cautious when opening a door

My side doors are littered with dings. I always park in one spot between the lines. Luckily I have the painted plastic door trim pieces that have taken most of the damage from doors. But then again, my truck is 5.5 years old and has spent it's entire life being parked in high school and college campus parking lots.

Looking forward to having the Raptor steps as some body armor. And I absolutely love parking in the hybrid spots at all those LEED-certified buildings.

Parking spots must be smaller in the US. I never had a problem with my H1 and that's about 2 inch wider then the raptor.

Nope...Raptor is 86.3" wide H1 is 86.5" wide...I would call that a push...
