Does anyone else have horrible trouble parking their Dodge Ram?

I'm a good DRIVER- I've never got in a wreck or even close, but I can't PARK. I keep hitting stationary objects while going like 3 mph! It's impossible to tell where the edges of the truck are I swear. Is it just me or does anyone else have this problem?

    This weekend go to the local school parking lot, get some orange cones and practice practice practice. You didnt become a good driver over night and going from a car or small pick up to a Ram is a little or a lot different. And plastic orange cones arent stationary and keep the body and paint pretty

    You know that poles don't jump. so try parking at the end and getting out and walking, There is always room out there. and if you purchase something big, go to the front and ask the manager to babysit your stuff while you go get the truck. Stopping in the fire lane is permitted as long as the vehicle is being immediately loaded, unloaded, that is why commercial plates are more expensive

    lol woman with a dodge ram (ironicly)

    nevertheless i understand how driving a huge car might be a pain in the bottom .. its a prob for everyone ..

    ummm

    ok if u dont have parking scensors i would start with installing those , they r cheap and will save u lot of headache . secondly try practicing with some plastic cones to learn the barriers of ur car .. with practice u'll be able to park the car going 40mph one day lol

    hope i've been helpful :D

    lol at first. but after driving for the past year i know the limits. just have to give yourself enough room to manuver. you dont have the best turning radius. so when you try to pull into a parking space dont just turn you have to swing it as wide as possible so you can get the truck fully turned into the spot. just practice a bit. and dont be afraid to back up to get it right. might be semi embarassing but who cares your saving your bumpers and fenders from more dings and dents.
