My garage is 30x40 and my truck still doesn't fit. Doesn't help that there is a 22' boat, bunch of kayaks, two bikes and a ton of "crap" in there lol. Also doesn't help that i have one large door that's not centered, if the boat was on the other side of the garage the truck would fit but that's a headache trying to move a 5K lb double axle trailer sideways by hand even on wheel dollies. Boats for sale so soon i'll be able to park again, and not have to wash my truck every other day to keep it from turning yellow from pollen.

While it's a squeeze to get the length of the truck in the garage, it's more of a squeeze due to the height of the truck!

I basically parallel park my truck to get it in. I have enough room front to back, made sure when we built the house, but forgot to account for the "wife factor" and didn't make a separate door so we could keep a good amount of space between the vehicles.

Just picked up the truck Monday and spent a little time finding the right spots to make the turns to get it right. I could whip my Ram in pretty quick, but have been backing that up for 4 years and with the truck 8 years old, I cared a little less. With this new truck, it probably took me 5 minutes just to get it in the first time haha! Have to make sure there is a separation there so my truck doesn't get hit by my wife or the kids getting out of her SUV. They haven't inherited my need to keep my vehicles dent free when all possible yet.

When I build my house wanted to make sure vehicles fit in easy. The 2 right bays are 25' deep, and left bay where my 2012 is parked is 50'. Gotta love a big garage.

That's a nice setup!!! Unfortunately the guy who built this garage wasn't a truck guy. It only goes in sideways. lol

Best home addition by far is the detached garage.

Gotta love it. If I move out of the city, I'll be doing the same thing. House garage will be the wife's and the detached would be mine.
