I take it as you never drove a 26' moving truck? By the way my own truck turns just as bad due to the bumper supports I have on it, I need 4 lanes and a good-size median to turn the thing around - you get used to it rather quick and learn to work around it, no big deal.
I've drove moving trucks and I routinely pull 30-40ft trailers. Doesn't change the fact that that truck would be a pita to drive around.

Oh yeah, it would be hard to maneuver in tight spots, but once you learn to plan ahead accordingly it ain't that big of a deal. Besides, these were made mainly as freeway runners, the kind you hook up the trailer to and pull it a thousand miles, never meant to be driven around apartment complexes and parallel-parked on narrow streets.

^^^True that. Anywho, that's why they make different autos for different people. To each their own.

Yeps yeps, but how bad it sucks when you get a vehicle based on a certain lifestyle and then you move and now your beloved toy is so unpractical it makes you wanna pull your hair off!
