What is the hardest thing for you to do or not do with your new Ranger?

Mines similar to that too. I usually drive straight in so when I have to load my truck for work the night before, it's easier and more room with the garage door open. I use my bed extender when I'm carrying a 6' step ladder and I can just barely close the garage door like this. These garages out here are small especially if you're putting 2 vehicles inside them. But like you said at least they're inside and not out in the dust and heat.

Shouldn't that hick amajig you installed dampen the impact

That's why I got it. It cushions the impact if I park crooked and the tailgate hits the garage door support.

Wait....you mean you WORK with your truck????
Is that a real thing? ?
I will admit mine is mostly a pavement prince. Occasional furniture hauler/home depot shopping cart, etc. I actually love it for my daily commute as much as anything.

It's a great truck for work or just a daily driver. I moved out here to semi retire then I got busier and busier so lately I've scaled back my spending so I can work a little less. Of course being on here doesn't help because there's so many cool things to buy. lol

It's hardest for me to remember that it's a truck and that as such it might get dirty. Puddles? Eek!

 

[7600]

you guys ought to see what I do to mine at work.

 

[Shadowdraxx]

throw stuff in the bed, after a lifetime of cars it feels wrong to put heavy damaging rocks metal etc in it

I believe you are confusing Turbochargers with Superchargers.

Technically, aren't Turbochargers in fact Superchargers? The only real difference being how they are 'driven'? Turbo's are driven by the exhaust and the Superchargers are driven by the crank by some method (usually belts).

This is all the room I have. Backing it in lets me get out without banging the door on the wall. There's only about 5" clearance between each mirror and the door frames when I drive in.

But I can get it in and that's good enough for me.

My garage is almost exactly the same depth. It is 20’ deep and I have almost the exact same clearance at the two ends of the truck. I need to almost touch the back of the wall.

I do have lots of room for the doors and might consider angle parking it in the garage if only one car is in it.
