We are talking lots with spots perpendicular to the lane of travel. With the addition of a backup camera, I can get within an inch of an obstacle behind me. Long truck, narrow lane, much, much easer to back in.
As I stated before it also puts the DRW “Hips” out of the way. I can back in easily between two cars, I could never dive in between them with the front.

Again, the choice to back in depends on many variables. It is not always the easiest or safest way to park. The addition of backup cameras changes the conversation to a great degree but not all trucks have backup cameras...many, and I would venture a guess most, don't. Even then I don't trust them to within 1" and I've got them on all my vehicles and have had for years.
