After purchasing the Ram Sport crew cab to replace the grand caravan, we quickly realized our garage would need some work to accomodate the new ride; we're both firm believers in keeping vehicles in the garage, not crap.
I spent all day on Monday (long weekend) rippig out the landing, steps and a portion of the recyling bin storage in order to make room. The landing is now a whopping 17" deep (lol) with 2 steps leading down to the garage floor, but it works.
She looks like she's trying to get into the house LOL
More pics once I get her clayed & waxed; this dealer high-fill polish crap has to go.

You should name your truck "Jack Nicholson". In thought of 'the shining'.

Yeah crew cabs don't fit in garages very well.

What a tight fit
But hey, it's better she is inside than outside.
Just make sure you garage door latch does not scrap down the bumper

You guys are lucky.
For me to get mine in, I'll need to remove bolted down cabinets.
I'd do it if I didn't have my other car parked in there.
I certainly can't touch my wife's side.
So the truck stays outside. :********:

The garage is my space (fully insulated/drywalled, painted, lights, home theater, smoking room). So I got to rearrange it how I wanted, but she's a great organizer so her input helped. I'm thinking of putting a large mirror in the back corner, and a reflective strip of tape down where the outside edge of her tires should ride. Combined with a 4x4 PL'd to the floor to stop the front wheels, I think we have the parking situation down.

You must have a damn big garage to hold a ram and home theater section :)

I've got a pic like that too...

We believe the same - garage for vehicles. Had to move some shelves and trade sides with the wife, but it fits now...barely.
