Bank drive thru's WTF?? Get me a shoe horn!

Why are they so tight?? What is the difference width wise in a new 150 and a 250/350?? There is honestly only 2 inches on each side my truck!!! Have to hang my head out the window all the way through the stupid drive thru!!!!! But I saw a 350 dually go through with what appeared to be the same fit!! I know it wasn't, but sure looked it! I have 8 inch wheels I feel sorry for the Bro's with 10 inchers!!!

If you have 2 inches, there is enough room .

Its tight but still easier than my Excursion.

My sister just took the passenger side out on her new 05 caddy sts at her bank and as the cops are taking her report a lady in a Lexus truck did the same thing.

I pick either an outside lane, or I go in. Old habits since I had my '99 F-350 dually. Banks do make their lanes very tight though, it's annoying as hell. You'd think in Alaska, where there are mostly trucks on the roads, they would make them a little wider for us.

Banks? EFT + ATM = rarely see a teller (drive through or inside).

I went through one a while back, and I would have KILLED to have 2 inches on each side. It rubbed the white letters on my tires on both sides, and the support poles hit both of my mirrors and folded them in!!! They post the height on those things, maybe it's time to post the width too.

WTF is right!!

I just go in to the machine now............I find it’s more of a pain pulling in far enough over so you don’t hit your driver’s side mirror then having to reach WAY down!! Those things are definitely made for cars! lol
