Dude I feel your pain. My garage is 21' square, and has a single door. all things being equal, my truck just barely clears my 7' door, and would stick out about 3 feet. My Dodge RAM 2500, was a quad cab short bed, and if I took the hitch off, I could park it against the front wall (1 inch clearance), and get the door closed with 1 inch clearance. With this LONGBED, crewcab, that is not happening now.

I need a larger garage. My 2 car garage is filled with my Lancer on one side and motorcycles on the other. If I had another bay the truck would be in the garage as well.

Mine is so small I wouldn't even try....

That was in reference to the garage, but interestingly that was the same thing I thought on prom night.....

I park outside, even though rain and storms my truck stay pretty clean. I think the key to parking outside is to stay away from trees, damn pine tree near my house kills paint jobs :(

The new houses being made all have small garages. I don't know why they don't make them big enough anymore. Mine has a "2 car" garage, but it's just barely big enough for my truck and Xterra. I have to kind of park them at an angle to be able to open the doors.

I agree, Jordan. When you think about the total cost of a house, it really cannot cost that much more to make it 6-12" wider, and a little deeper. I'd definitely pay the extra whatever. In the course of a 30 year mortgage, it's got to be pennies a month.
