And it serves great as daily driver, better than 3/4 or 1 ton truck, no talking even about a dually.

Too wide and possibly even too tall.

my truck only spends the night outside when we are camping or away on vacation. when it goes to work with me it sleeps in the hanger. thinking it only has about 2 months outside its entire life, and only in the summer. sure wish I had the time to finish the garage so it feel more comfortable.

LOL. Being able to fit in the garage was a critical search parameter when we were looking for our current TV. We bring a tape measure with us and even swung by the house in the test drive and made sure it fit and it just does. If I ever have to upgrade to a bigger TV, I will have to upgrade the house too.:-D

I thought we were the only ones that did that. Only difference is I didnt have a tape measure. Backed it straight into the garage. I even put the salesman to work and told him to let me know once my bumper cleared the entrance

My truck barely fits as far as height. Any new tires that are more than 1" taller and it's a no go. Good thing I don't like larger than stock tires.

when i built my house i had em make the garage longer and the door a lil bigger.......

then i bought an f250 and lifted it on 35s......i wanted 6 inches of lift....but the garage said no....and i aint leaving it outside.so 4.5 is all i got.........

new house has 80x100 , foam insulated, fully heated and cooled shop with 18ft pull through doors......i told my wife i didnt want much......just a nice shop and a nice outdoor kitchen and pool...LOL...i mean....all that INSIDE stuff is girl stuff anyway....right? .......cant wait till its all done !!

garage now is a lil tight with my truck in there......clears top by .5 inch and have about 7 inches between garage and truck....

I guess I am the exact opposite then most of you guys. I have never had a truck that did not stay outside. My garage is way too short for my truck so the wife and kids get the mini van in the garage and the truck sits outside. I have never had it any other way so I never really thought about it. Remote start gets it nice and warm so not really a big deal. If I ever were to build a new house I guess I would keep it in consideration. Some nice tow rigs shown here! Not a great picture since its taken from far away but here is one from a little winter camping last year.

My girl fits, but her wide hips only allow 4 inches on either side and I have an inch behind the rear bumper and the door bracing.


Here, you can see the door brace and the rear bumper. I have 4 X 4's bolted to the floor so I know when to stop!


She's inside every night except when hooked to the 5er. I bought a laser to mount in the grill to help me pull in accurately, but I never installed it. After doing it for nearly 2 years, I don't need the laser!
