Going on a business trip for a few weeks and thought I would post a pic of her garaged, it takes me a few times getting out and checking clearance so I dont crash through the wall to get her to fit in there but cant stand the thought of leaving her outside while I am away lol.

This is the wife and I's first bought home and I wouldn't settle for anything less than a two car garage. Just moved from Hawaii so I know what kind of sun damage you can get from leaving it out to long with my last F150 along with sea spray equals the need for GARAGE lol.

Wouldn't hurt to hang a tennis ball from the ceiling right at the windshield before you take it out so when you hit the tennis ball you know your there

I'm only gone for three weeks and just filled up with 93 octane, oil changed last at the stealership with there synthetic at 2500 miles and the truck is at 4000 miles now and not sure of what a trickle charge is but now am a little worried =(

I have thought pretty strongly about a tennis ball but didn't get around to it do to spending all the time waxing the truck and remodeling upstairs bathroom.

trickle chargers very slowly charge your battery. Won't over charge it. You will be ok if you are only gone for 3 weeks. I thought it was going to be several weeks. Don't worry......

LOL, wish I had a bigger garage so I could walk around the truck once the garage door was shut. I have to jump into the bed and off the other side to get to the door going into the house.

Reversing in is much easier

Can't imagine how backing in would be easier but I have never tried so I guess it is worth a try next time. I come back for a couple weeks then out again for 3-4 weeks so the truck is rarely used.

It's much easier for me to back in as well, because the backup camera in the Uconnect system is incredible. Leaves nothing to guessing.

When I built my house I had one side of the 2 car added to the depth of the house so my side of the garage is 37 feet deep. Not bragging I promise.

Don't think my Jeep will fit behind (in front) of it anymore though

I just moved into a house and I'm heart broken... My last garage could hold my Truck (20') on one side, and my Travel Trailer (20') on the other, with room to walk around them both.. I think there was ~24' length and well over 14' doors with 18' celings.. My new garage, my truck hangs out if I'm backed up to the interior wall... I'd have to take my bush guard off and there's no way I'd be able to work on the nose of the truck with the door down. Happy wife, happy life though right?

When I bought my first house I told the Realtor that it HAD to have a 2 car garage. When I (WE) bought our second house, I told the wife it HAD to have a 3 car garage. It's only been a year and I want to get a 4th car garage! lol

I'm selling my motorcycle, so that should help make room. I have a G8, Enclave, lawnmower, 832 Deere snow blower (HUGE) misc. strollers, and soon a CC RAM. Once the motorcycle is out, it'll REALLY help make some room.

Next house... 4 car if we can afford it. What I plan to do now, is get a 4 post lift to put the G8 on. It'll be my garage queen in a couple of weeks time!
