Actually, Super Crews don't fit in the garages of many Texas homes, so you are very lucky -- especially if your new place is 10 years old or older! I'm out on residential construction sites almost every week, and I've noticed that over the last few years the garages have started to get deeper. The builders will tell you that this specifically so potential homeowners can pull their long pick-ups into the garage at night.

My house was built in 2002 and my regular cab/short box truck will only fit in my 3rd garage stall -- the other two slots aren't deep enough because of my utility tub and air compressor in one and my work bench in the other. If I ever build another house, I will definitely spring for a deeper garage and would also likely specify 10' wide doors instead of the 8' wide doors that are typically installed in most homes.

I put Stealth's 05 Supercrew and my 03 supercrew in my garage. In fact I did the same with 429bossmustang 2007? Supercrew with 6.5 bed

Haven't ever tried it with both of my current trucks simultaneously.


1983 built house. But cars in late 70s were large cars, so the oversized garage kinda makes sense

Yes -- I'm kind of thinking that my '87 Crown Victoria will only fit in my 3rd stall as well, since I'm sure it is way longer than the average car that is on the road today. When I built my place I paid attention to the width of the garage, but didn't give a second thought to the depth of the garage. Growing up back in Minnesota, they always put fairly deep garages on the houses because they knew people would need room in front to store their snow blowers, so depth didn't even come up on my radar screen as a potential concern. It is one of the few things that I would change about my house if I could.....

House was built in 1986 and we put the Expedition and Screw in during bad weather. It's a close fit on the ends of the truck and we have too much "stuff", but they are in out of the weather.

Having garage space is awesome. Though it has a problem of getting cluttered quickly after cleaning.

Heck -- yours is really deep -- you got those in with no problem plus room for a workbench and a ton of crap in the front! When I pull my extended cab Ranger into my stall with the workbench there is JUST enough room to get it in -- about 2" between the rear bumper and the drawer faces of my bench, and about 2" between the front bumper and the garage door as it closes. There's no way I'd ever get a crew cab truck into mine.

The left side has a water cabinet, so it limits the depth on that side, but yes. I love my garage
