Question Garageability?

I have sold myself on a 2005 supercrew and will accept nothing less. I have done a quick check on the math, but it looks like the garage is going to be somewhat of a tight fit. I just wanted to know if anyone had issues fitting their SCREWs in a two-car garage? I realize their will be variables, but I just wanted to get a feel.

I have 2 inches to spare on either side of a 2 car garage inbetween a post seperating the two parking spots in my supercrew. I always have to put the drivers window down, and fold the mirror in so the truck will fit. The truck will nto fit in all the way for the garage door to close, my truck stick out 1 1/2 foot so I'm not able to close the garage door when my trucks in there.

I have to fold my drivers side mirror in as well but can close the door. I only have 1" to spare since I put the Body Lift on!

I have a supercab 2wd lariat and the garage door is 9 ft wide. I can get in without folding the mirrors. Got about 2 inches on either side. The length of my garage leaves about 4 inches from back bumper to the door with about a foot or so to walk around the front. It's cramped.

I have a single door on my two car garage and my screw fits fine. I back my truck into the garage and have a board down on the floor to let me know where to stop. The reason that I back in is because it puts me out on the side of the door to enter the house because one the garage door is down there is not enough room to go around the front or the rear of the truck.

I can only get my scab in the garage with the door down only if i go in at about a 40 degree angle and take the trailer ball out of the hitch.

I have to rub it in! My garage door is 12 foot wide by 9 foot tall and the garage itself is 31 feet long. I have no problems parking in the garage YET! I plan on a six inch lift and at least 35 inch tires in the future.

I got a three stall RV garage. Each stall is 8' wide by 10' high and 30' deep. Its slightly smaller than yours, but its still big enough to park an F350 crewcab longbed with a 10" lift and have plenty of room to walk around it and close the door.

Not getting the truck is NOT an option. I guess I will have to look into one of those "garage stretchers".

In my last garage I could get in with both mirrors folded in, and just enough room to side step between the door and the back of the truck. In our new house with only a one car garage, my wife has decided that it is more important for her car to be inside. Oh well it'd be a tight squeeze to get into this one too....

My garage must be HUGE then. I live in a custom home and not one of those cookie cutter cracker boxes that most people live in for some reason.

My garage is 32 x 32 and the ceiling is 12'. My doors and 10' wide and 9' high. There is also a full bath and bedroom above it. Nice place to park the inlaws.

Truck is 19' 2", with refrigerator in place garage is 19' 0".

But what the heck, it's a truck. I leave it outside to guard the driveway.

My garage is 19' deep and for me being able to close the garage doors and still be able to walk around the front or back of the truck was important, just one of the reasons why I drive a regular cab, short box with a total length of about 17'6". Each to his (or her) own.

I wish I could get my truck in the garage. My 99 Reg cab would fit and leave a little room front and back although the mirrors were close. My 04 SCAB 8' bed is 20' bumper to bumper and the garage is 19'10". Oh well.
