Where do you park your raptor?

[Raptided]

Where do you park your raptor? In your garage, on your driveway or on the street? I have to move into a new place and there's no room to park in the garage and the driveway is too short. Looks like parking on the street in front of the house is my only option :/ Feeling a little worried. Looks like a safe place but you never know.

Garage - look at my avatar haha

I park it nose in so I can get out. It's a tight fit but I don't have to scrape ice off or get into a hot vehicle. Stays cleaner too.

I just measured to see if a 4dr Bronco will fit also - in the process of convincing the wife to get a Badlands Bronco.

We're moving/retiring in the next few years so our next place hopefully has a huge garage with a lift.

My garage doors aren’t quite big enough so mine sits in the driveway.

Driveway. Won't fit in my garage unfortunately. If I ever get a new home, the garage will be a much higher priority than it was for the current home. Even the driveway is somewhat of an issue now as my son 16 and we have both our trucks in the driveway. It's 2 vehicle widths wide, but we both park with one wheel in the grass to avoid door dings and such. It's going to get worse when my daughter turns 16 in a year and half.

Parking on the street isn't much of an option. It's more protected as I live on a cul-de-sac, but I have a fire hydrant blocking the only spot to park a vehicle. Next possible spot is a good 100 ft or more away.

As for your situation, it's probably 'safe' if others are also parking on the street, so driver's are aware to drive around parked vehicles. I would also point a security camera at your vehicle. Ring works very well these days with their motion detection and sending you a snap shot. The other day, I got notified with someone bent down at my rear tire. I happened to be home and ran outside...it turned out it was just my neighbor checking it out as he was considering wheels on his truck.

Yeah, parking on the street is a bad thing, no matter where you live. In a relatively tight, less-than-optimal neighborhood it becomes outright risky if you really care for your vehicles and/or what's inside. I live in a rural type neighborhood and people use the road-side as overflow when company comes over. I leave nothing of value inside the two vehicles that must sit outside. My garage is big enough for the Raptor, but more important vehicles (Focus RS and motorcycles) reside in the garage. Yeah I know, blasphemous on a truck forum! So, my 2018 Raptor must sit outside, but she doesn't mind. She's a tough old bitch and laughs at the weather. Of course, my security cameras inside and outside keep everything covered and sends alerts to notify me if there is any activity I might want to check out with the 9mm Sig and/or 12ga Stoeger...

I've done all 3, but mostly it sits in the garage. If you are leaving it on the street, don't leave anything visible inside the cab, not even an empty water bottle.

Its a truck.

Park it.

Mine is an "outside" Raptor. I don't let it in the garage, it hogs all the space. It sits in the driveway. It seems happy.

I thread the needle to get her through a garage door.
I measured before I bought it.

Mine goes in the garage. It fits, but height wise... I couldn’t lift the truck and it still fit. I believe standard height and width single car. Tight but fits. I made sure to account for this when I was building my house just in case I ever bought a raptor...

Hell if you have a 30 by 30 garage lol... might as well use it.
