I have a 24 x 24 foot garage and a RCSB. I have several feet on all sides. I can even fit it inside with the plow on, which is awesome in the winter. I park it facing out and plow right out with a nice dry warm truck.

Seems most of you don't have enough junk... As you all have trucks you're welcome to stop by and pick some up.. Not that I need to get rid of stuff so I can get my truck into the garage,,,,,,,,, but so I can close the garage door...

I have about three inches to spare. Here's a tip: place a brick on the ground in front of the tire to act as a wheel chock. You'll never hit the wall as the brick prevents the truck from rolling too far forward. I also nailed a camping foam pad to the wall in front just in case...

Ive got about 4' to spare but Ive got my lawnmower and my mountain bike stored there. Ive got 8 or 9 inches total to spare with my beloved truck. Glad I didnt get a Super Duty! The height is barely enough. Ive got maybe 2" clearance from the lowest point of the garage door. Bends the antenna down a good bit. Dont care though cause my baby WILL be garage kept.

So am I the only one that backs the truck into the garage?



Here is the room I have up front.......rear bumper and top of tailgate is almost touching the wall at the other end.

Also, are you worried about hanging bikes, ladders, tools, etc.... near or above the truck. I not talking about an earthquake causing it to fall or anything but what if it slips off or something like that?

I would back mine in but I park on the side where the wall is to the right of my truck so it gives me more room to get in and out by pulling straight in. The wife however gets to stand out in the rain while I pull the truck out for her to get into the passenger seat.

I built a new garage. Old garage was 12x16 and is now a storage shed. All the junk goes there. It's basically a disaster inside. Only my truck and my Chevelle are in the new garage, no crap allowed.

I have the typical 7' door height and the antenna smacks every time. Hasn't hurt anything yet, so I don't really care.

I had to clean up my garage to get mine to fit. My wife didn't think it would.

Should be able to figure out a way to reframe back wall to create some type of pocket to give more inside length for your truck....

I have to back mine in at an angle. The F350 fits in the long bay, but the stupid furnace and water heater take up just enough room to make it about a foot short. Add in the side by side and I don't have much room left.
