Default Not Big Enough!!!

Got my F150 home after buying it & it won't fit in my garage. I just figured that if my QC Cummins fit that my LB f150 would. Trucks 233" & garage 228" deep. Damn. That's all I can say.

My extended cab just squeezes in. If I close the door and push the truck back until the bumper's in contact with the door, there's barely enough room to stand in front of the front bumper and work in the engine compartment.

It's aggravating. But the truck only has 44k all original 302 and I wasn't passing that up.

how about making some new bumpers and/or modifying your garage door? lol. idk. 5" seems like you could make it work somehow. my truck has less then 2" with the front bumper touching the wall, theres about 1.5" between rear bumper and garage door.

At least you guys HAVE room to put stuff in your garage. Our new 2 car garage has stuff to the rafters, and its not heated yet.

My garage is only 18' from door to wall. With 3 steps up to the mud room. All in all, I can barely squeeze the 3 series in. Or half the truck.

I remember as a kid when I got my truck spending the whole weekend cleaning out the crap in the garage to make space for my new lovely... Only to find the same thing, garage door would come down to the bumper and that was all. Such a let down.
