How Long will it take me to get used to backing....?

Question

My 2007 Trailblazer into a parking spot??Its like a really big car,and I didnt expect it to be hard.Does it depend on the car and the person??Im used to being in a car low to the ground.

I just got my 2007 Trailblazer today.

When I say a car low to the ground,I mean like a Grand Am.

Answer 1

First of all, a Trailblazer is not a big vehicle and it's turning radius is pretty small so backing into a parking space should be pretty easy. Get used to your mirror position and you'll be fine. Try backing my truck and you'll have some problems. I drive a 2001 C3500 1 ton dually. Your Trailblazer can turn 3 times inside my turning radius.

Answer 2

guess it depends on the person because i went from a neon to a mercury to a grand am. have driven a trailblazer to wisconsin and parked it. i didnt find it difficult to do but it also depends on how long you've been driving small cars. i've driven all types of cars since i was 16.

Answer 3

I would guess that I'm not to bad at parking but I would rather walk a little farther than try to squeeze into a small parking spot.

The key is to be as close to the car ahead of the space & to be a little a head of it. Back up & start to turn into the parking spot when the rear of you car is just past the end of the other car.

Back up at a slight angle untill your left rear fender is in line with (Looking in your left outside mirror)the right fender of the back car. Watching your right front fender &
the ahead cars left rear fender start your turn. Keep checking both front & rear.

If you have done it right just turn your wheels a little to the right & pull ahead a little.

Now was't that easy?

If not, just go to places where you don't have to parallel park.

Answer 4

bigger is not necessarily better. gas prices should be considered. the only way to change from small car to monster, is to practice practice practice.
