  • So the context of the parking lot would be required no? I see trucks nose in spots in Home Depot, but back into the grocery store.

    It also depends on what you need that particular day. If I just need some small parts I can back in since I don’t to access my bed that trip.

    I think you are reading far too much into that.

    Edit. You can also back in and pull out 4 feet to load your bed, done that plenty too. Be more creative I guess.






  • Im not feeling insulted, why are you suggesting that? I said the hell is with the insults, which you did use, or do you not understand the definitions of some of the words you used?

    Good job not being a stereotypical truck owner lmfao. You are the reason why the rest of us who actually have work trucks get in shit, because you think a tow ball protects your truck from damage… when it’s an 6” for someone to hit when they could have stopped short….

    So yeah, throw some more insults, that’ll show non-truck owners who we really are.


  • It still has to travel through 6” of towball before hitting the bumper, so it saves that cosmetic damage.

    The hell is with the insults?

    Edit, oh you’re on of those people that think the tow ball protects your truck from damage, which it doesn’t. Hence you thinking I was insulting you in my original comment.

    So a better example would be, you would get damaged if the vehicle stopped 2” short of your bumper, since you have something g attached to your frame sticking 6”. Does that makes sense to you now? I can provide a picture to show the differences with and without a towball on a bumper.


  • Yep, but that’s also 6 more inches to get through until the bumper. The problem being it removes the crumple zone the bumper has and makes the force entirely in your frame instead. It will also almost always hit the radiator of the vehicle hitting them doing significant damage.

    They leave it there as assholes, while also not actually protecting their own vehicle, other than cosmetically, they’ll do more structural damage instead.

    Hence the moron part.




  • Yes there are a lot of people who get them for stuff that can be grabbed with a car more or less. 6 bags of concrete and some 2x4s can easily be gotten in a car infrequently.

    And yes I likely could make a car/trailer work, but some sites are off-roading more or less. So even if you’re a lackey, sometimes the site just requires more than a car and other options than a truck aren’t as practicable or convenient.

    Yeah every could go and a rent truck 3 times a week. But that’s just silly after a point, and yeah sure there is sometimes you don’t need it for 2 months as well. That’s reality.
