I don't even have a garage. We were more concerned with having a place where we could keep our horses out back. With that as our primary concern and our budget, pickings were slim. So I just "combat park" out front.

Thanks folks,
I have my eye on a 6.4l F250 but I haven't made up my mind yet. I'll have to head back to the dealer and drive one home to see if it fits in the garage next to the Windstar. I know that is one of the questions the insurance company will ask. "Is it garaged?" "Why yes, of course."

I garage mine with about 1" in front of the front bumper, I have a CC, 4X4, 8' bed. In order to do this I have to back truck in. The garage is attached. When I built house I made sure the garage door was taller and the garage was deeper in the event I bout an Excursion.

Always in the garage (22 x 24). have room on all sides and have the car plus other junk in there. Pays to have the short box tho, it would be tight, but not impossible , with an 8 foot box.

I build houses for a living and I would never build a garage that wasn't big enough. Unless the client really wanted it. My garage has 8' doors and is 32' deep. Plenty of space for the old girl. I wouldn't dream of making her sleep outside.

My problem is I need a CC so I might have to take down some cabinets so it will fit (standard garage). My wife hates the idea anyway but she doesn't like my current Expedition either (I have to turn it in by the end of October). So I figure if she is going to be mad anyway I might as well get what I really want. 
I figure in about 4 years I can build my retirement home. I can assure you it will include an over size garage.
