I do have to defend the poor SUV. Its not its fault. Its the driver that is bad.
I have been parked in many times by hondas and escorts, so its no different,
Also, I have a F150 extended cab with a long bed. That's 23 feet of pure parking nightmare, yet I can parallel park it without encroaching on anyone's space (at least 3 feet between).
The problem is I need to drive around a lot longer to find a spot to park. Most drivers are too lazy and just squeze into a spot that works for them and the hell with the others.
I do take the hitch out of the receiver when I'm not towing. I've hit enough shins to know that much.
BTW: I will buy an Excursion when they drop down to $8-10K for a loaded one... not too much longer. I will also have it full when I drive it.
