How do you park your Truck?

GLAMIS WEATHER
I back into every space with my truck. Only way to get it straight into the spot on narrow parking lots. Wife always backs into the garage because we can see no grand kids as we are backing in. Do not like getting into car and backing out of the driveway because you didn’t just “ take a full view of your surroundings’ as easily as you can when you pull up to house and back in

Exactly. Just last week a woman in a neighboring town hit her friend's 1 yr old girl while backing out of the friends driveway and unfortunately the child died. Sad in so many ways.

As young parents we had another couple from church who did the same thing. Father ran over his daughter going backwards. It tore the family apart.
 
Mostly backed in. It is way easier to maneuver with a four door long bed when you're steering with the rear (aka in reverse) through tight spots in a parking lot. As mentioned, a lot easier to get out, too. That is just common sense. You are going to either back in or back out - I would like my steer wheels to have as much space as possible to move and swing around.

At home, I don't really have anything for reference. Its all open out here. I usually park based on the sun or if I am going to to be leaving in the dark or not.

At the shop, I actually pull in. There is plenty of room to back out, and it makes it easer to load and unload tools and parts.
