Mine gets garaged if there's a bad wind storm brewing...I've got lots of tree limbs that are still trying to learn to fly around my house. Of course it looks pretty stupid with the push mower, the riding mower, several tubs of tools and tiedown equipment, various pieces of lumber etc, etc, etc out in the driveway that got evicted to make room for the 250! Poor old 150 now has to live out in the elements...no more room in the inn.

I'm actually in the process of building a new garage. Old garage, not a chance with the 16'x7' door at 22' lg. New garage is 36' deep and 46' wide with (2) 10' wide x 8' high doors. I set it up so I could have 3 crew cab trucks with room for work benches, tools and toys. It should be big enough for a couple years.

When I had our new garage built, I made it 28' x 36' with a 9' wide door for my wife's car ( she need's lots of room ) and a 16' wide x 9' foot high door for my dually (and my small work car ). NO PROBLEM

Where can I get a short antena for my 2008 F-350? My truck fits in my garage that has a 7' door but the antena does hit. I also can just make it into my works parking ramp as it has a max height of 7' also but my antena hits every cross support member in the ramp. I don't want it break off, but I would love to get a shorter antena.

Mine use to be in every night, 8' door 24'deep inside. During the summer the boat gets the spot, but I suppose once the snow flys its going to be the excursion and taurus getting the royal treatment.

Mine (06 F350 CC 4x4) doesn't fit at our house. We just bought horse property up in the mountains, and one of the plans is to build a garage big enough for a CC LB dually, which I'm sure is in my future sometime.

Well, I went to the dealer Monday afternoon and told the sales lady (very nice gal, owns an F150) that I needed to borrow an 6.4L F250 for a while to take home (about 12 miles). "No problem, let me get you a plate." I have a standard 22' x 19' garage so I wanted to make sure it fit. It fits but just barely! The Powerscope mirrors make all the difference. I may take down a shelf to make some more room. While I had it I went all over it and drove it back to the dealer reluctantly. I reset the Lie-o-meter before I left the dealer and it read 11.5mpg when I got back (heavy traffic). They didn't have any on the lot like I wanted so I pulled out my paper work and we put in an order for an F250 6.4L, CC, SB, XLT with lots of options.
It's a fine ride.

I keep BOTH of my Superduties ( one has a popup pickup camper on it) in our polebarn along with a horsetrailer and my fishing boat. 12x12 powered overhead doors. We built the building with a cement floor, heat, and enough power to also use as a shop to take good care of our toys.
