    If 13 inches is all that stands between you and hitting the curb you better go back to driver ed.

    Nobody said anything about a curb. It's still too long, and you could stand going back to readers ed...

    I'm going to say that you might benefit from a reading comprehension class or so.

    road driving can't see a difference.
    But on the weekend on the trail with @tacoma16 and @NorilskSever was probably easier for my truck on the trail being a short box than it was for them with their long box.

    Right. Well. Some OTHER people may have trouble with curbs. But I never said anything about curbs. Dclb is too long for TRAILS As far as I'm concerned :cool:

    OP, how would you rate your "skill" as a drive? Seeing as how you seem to be concerned with the skill it takes to drive a midsized truck.

    Hell yes it does! In my state you are required to attend an 8 hour training session prior to being issued a special permit authorizing the operation of kick ass vehicles.
