Not on a non-ZR2. Supposedly the frame has different mounting points. At least that's what the engineers told me.

Engineers operate via binary. There's no grey area.

Having lived with both, I think Colorado Crew cab is a bit more usable. The back seat has more space (not a ton more) but makes it easier to take adults back there, or carry stuff.

I think the Colorado crew is the perfect size.

Yea, it's the width more than length that makes the Silverbrahdoes tough to live with.

Stuffed the bed full of IKEA flat pack stuff. It's plenty functional. Parkable. Driveable.

Right. Leg room is almost the same but Silverado is 7 inches wider so more hip room

CCLBs start to get pretty long. The CCSB is great as a daily, turning radius and parking are still easy.

Aside from not fitting in garages or most street parking situations, I guess they're fine? :iono:

I parallel park my truck in plenty of spots in congested areas and don't care about fitting it into a garage. It's a :truk:

It's low enough to fit into a parking deck, that's all that matters.

:dat:

It won't fit in my garage, which I miss, but the house was built in the 60's and it is what it is. Most newer construction, or better laid out floor plans and it'd fit just fine.

We went down town this past weekend in the truck and I made a guy in a IS250 look really bad with parallel parking. He took almost 5 full minutes to park that thing, while I just went around him to a spot further up the street, parked the truck and had time to get my son out and in his stroller before he was parked. I don't get why the idea that these things are hard to park keeps getting brought up, cause they're not. Parking garages are the only things that still give me anxiety, since some of ours are fairly old and I don't truly know if it'll fit in some of them.

:yeahok:

It doesn't fit in your garage, yet you say it's easy to park? You can't park it at your own house despite being The Stig's 'Murican Cousin who is the greatest :truk: parker in the world...
