Parking Garages Sure Aren’t Made for Trucks

All the ramps around here accommodate trucks just fine...I would assume it's the same in most of the Midwest and west where trucks are more common than cars.

Now we will just await the “big trucks suck, you should have bought a Corolla” comments.

That said, a rubber bumper on the trailer hitch makes sense. Smart.

There actually is an issue with the rubber bumper idea. I noticed a fence made to look like a concrete wall. They used too thin of a plywood and those who were “ parking by feel” were popping holes in it. Nice.

Anyone remember the 80s when they briefly striped parking lots "for compact cars only"?

They still delineate small parking spots when there isn't space for large vehicles.

Whenever I go into Boston and I know I'll end up in a garage, I leave the Tundra home and take the Kia Soul or RX 350. Even the RX 350 is sometimes borderline too big for Boston garages. The Kia rocks! I can always fit into those spots with a support column taking up 1/3 of the space.
