Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

Body width. That's why Raptors and 4 wheel steering GM trucks have them. Normal full size pickup trucks are just under that. Mirrors and things like handles don't count.

Interesting, never knew that. I've seen them as standard in some Super Duty trucks & optional on the SRW ones, but never knew they were a width requirement.

Personally I have under 1/2" roof clearance getting my F350 into the garage. Lights would be enough to keep me out.. Yet another reason to avoid a DRW truck for me at least.

Dagnabit ! I'm gettin' this thing through even if I destroy it.

I take my semi day cab through the drive-thru all the time. No problem.
I threaten if they don't get my order right I'll come back with the 53' trailer on it

Girl at the window says it freaks the other customers out (they comment to her), and I've seen someone stop on the street to
take a picture.

I didn't think it was a big deal. It fits, it's 2am, and I wanted coffee !

You most likely can drive it better than some can handle their Subarus!

Must be different down here, all the drive throughs seem to have a 9'9" 1/4 overhang so your receipt doesn't get wet in the rain.

I like to think so, but mostly I guess I just have the nerve to say "why not?"

Hit and miss here. Some have the overhang (a full cross beam or a partial canopy) to keep idiots with tractor trailers out of the drive thru. Some don't.
There's another one nearby that has a funky kind of wiggly lane and I haven't been brave enough yet.
I avoid the first one at certain times too because the snow can pile up and keep my bumper from fitting. Bad enough the trees
are a tad rough on the roof fairing and the mirrors.
I reeaaallly don't want to explain to the boss why there was a tow call to drag me out of a drive thru because I got stuck in the snow fetching coffee.

One early winter that left a mere inch of snow on the street gave me a surprise.
Rounding a slight curve I slid sideways even though I was slow.
I discovered a sheet of plywood hiding under that inch.
Driving onwards I found another 6 sheets scattered here and there.
Made a nice addition to my plywood reserves!

(note the driver probably would have never found them anyway as they were totally hidden, it was only because my direction was uphill that I was losing traction on them)
OH, and those sheets were actually aromatic cedar for closet lining.
