If your shifter is by your center console just be careful you don't reach down and slam it into park coming up to a stop sign.
Does your 4 wheel vehicle ever go back to feeling like "normal size" again?

It’s not the size that bothers me. It’s the wide right turns that give me away. For the first few hrs in a car after driving the truck I make the widest right turns and get pissed at the people who pull past the stop lines when making a left... even though there is plenty of room for a car... lol

Nope. I havent turned commercial miles since 2008. I still feel the tug of that 53 foot can.

I came awful close to falling out of the seat the first week after getting out of my 10 speed and into this auto shift truck. Many, MANY times that first week, I would reach over and grab the gearshifter that wasn't there and dang near fall over . I had to keep the right armrest down on the driver's seat to help prevent the fall.

While you will eventually get use to it, the longer you are a Class A driver, the less "Normal" your personal vehicle will feel, particularly if you have those tiny cars. It makes sense because you spend more time driving the work trucks.Iowa80, Cattleman84 and lovesthedrive Thank this. -
One of our cars has a clutch and I would start of float my shifts. The big thing was I kept trying to turn the jakes on.
