Folks would look at you all funny like if you was to put a pickup truck in a garage anyway.... maybe under the shed or even in the barn but never a garage...

Had one of these and it fit into the garage, so I knew the new red one would fit.
To this...

Que? Our truck also spends 90% of its life as a schoolbus, and I LOVE keeping it clean. I used to detail vehicles for my own business so its kindof a sickness.

Washing my truck is a two hour job if I'm in a hurry. I scrub the mats, clean door jambs, and swiffer the inside. My wife is worse that I am. She would sit at a light and use a toothbrush to clean dust out of the crevices in the dash. And yes, it was an old toothbrush.

We have a 3 car garage (in addition to my shop), and I could not imagine using NOT using it for my vehicles. LOL

I have an '00 - Classic Red. Yours looks to be newer and I license and insure mine for 8 mos -- garaged for 4 mos. Weather, road and driving conditions really not suitable for year-round use.

2006 model... We don't get much snow/ice.... Bout 2 or 3 times a year usually and it's generally gone within 2 days...
When that happens, we leave both cars in the garage and commute together in the truck.

Redone,
It takes a picture of those two RV's side by side to realize just how much smaller the "half ton towable" really is.... I "thought" I had a decent size trailer until I look at that "monster" beside yours......

Yes, I agree.
I think we lined them up even in the back also. But then again he hauls his around with a 1 ton CTD and I have just my little Ecoboost .

Just our tools and toys and what-not in 50 plus years of accumilating "stuff".
My brother has another 2500 sq ft building along side this one that he operates a CNC plasma cutting, metal fabricating shop in his spare time.
Also have 3 level, rocked spots for full hookups outside for the RVs when the weather is nicer and we cleanup after camping or prep for camping...only electric and water inside the shed.
