GEN 2 She Fits in My Garage!! Barely...

[mr_beaverhousen]

I've been parking it in the driveway but wanted to get it in the garage while I went on vacation. Measurements do work out but the single garage doors make the width tight. Got her in with some guidance, but don't know if I can do it on a Monday-Friday basis.

I have the same issue, it's very tight, I found it easier to back in with the cameras and mirrors!

You should be scolded for garage abuse!

That’s not a 1 car / 1 truck garage, that’s a 6 motorcycle garage

I have a 3 motorcycle garage, that the previous owner built for his Porsche boxster. I managed to stuff my ’01 Lightning in there. Once. It did fit, but let’s just say it’s a good thing I wasn’t overweight because getting in / out was very difficult.

I am completely sure that there is no way the Rap fits in my garage...

The struggle is real... I have a tennis ball like my grandmother had...

Perfect timing on this post. I just ordered an 18. Today I was in the garage measuring from the front bumper of the wife's Toyota Sequoia.

She asked WTF I was doing. I said the damn truck is 28" longer than your car. It's gonna be so tight it's not comfortable.

She just looked at me...


LOL

Check out the laser parking devices on Amazon. It's the high tech version of the tennisball and it lets me park my truck consistently within a half inch. My wife refused to have a tennisball hanging from the ceiling and the laser is easier to park with. I also fold in my mirrors for the extra margin. I think someone on here said it was $1500 to replace an 802a mirror.

I’m kind of disappointed with garage depth these days in newer houses. I’m at the point in life where I can afford a raptor and a decent house, but the garages leave a lot to be desired even with newer higher-end houses around here. I think a garage should be at least 26 feet deep, but apparently builders around here in TN don’t these days for some reason.

Mirror power folding failed on my drivers side 2008 F-350 dually Lariat (power folding, telescoping, heated) and it was $900 to replace. I just lived with it. So I don't doubt that the mirrors are $1500 each when you add in the blind spot stuff.

You guys are lucky, my current 15 screw sticks out by 2 inches. If it were not for the tailgate bulge it would fit lol

I had to change my garage doors to get mine to fit LOL. But you got to do what you got to do when you got a Raptor!
