My garage is more of a workshop at this point. It might technically be a two car garage but that would be two small cars.

As it stands the only things stored in there besides tools and work bench’s are my motorcycle and my lawn tractor.

I’m in Toronto’s downtown core - indoor parking is a must, so mine is garaged. It’s a bit of a squeeze but it fits…

Always inside my one car garage. It's nice not having to scrape snow off in the winter and not getting in a hot truck in the summer. Plus parking in the garage reduces the chance of break ins or having parts stolen off of it.

One of the things that originally drew my attention to the Ranger was its size and the power folding mirrors because my garage is small. Of course now that I have gotten used to it I never fold the mirrors in anymore when I pull in but it's a tight fit, only a few inches on each side of the mirrors as I enter the garage. Once inside it fits good enough to open the doors but not by much.

2 bay garage here. Each side for each of our vehicles plus extra room for storage; beer fridge, lawn equipment, tool area, etc.

Once the truck comes I'll reorganize my side since I no longer own my Jeep.

My half of the garage is workshop. I was going to build a car port for my truck but the county wanted 500+ for a permit and all sorts of stupid requirements. F... them.

I like to go "in and out, and in and out. cause they're playing all night..."
Depends on a lot of factors if the Ranger is in the garage, like what 'toys' are in there, what project is going on and seasons. It's sitting outside right now.
No extra care needed, it's a vehicle not a ... well if I had a cat, the damn thing would be outside too to keep the mice and squirrels from dining on wires. :LOL:

I have a 3 car garage (2 car side loading and one smaller front loading) and my truck gets parked on the pad next to the smaller garage. My wife gets the best spot for her ‘16 Honda Pilot and next to her is room for my motorcycle (‘16 Honda Africa Twin) and all the family Mtn bikes. The smaller front loading garage is dedicated to my project car (‘73 Volvo P1800ES) and paddle sport gear.

50X60 barn and oversized 2 car garage. Corolla goes in garage except when I need the shop space. ‘98 C2500 lives mostly outside. Cargo trailer lives outside mostly. Ranger, travel trailer, tractor, and boat live in barn mostly, but sometimes outside. Building observatory dome in the barn, and storage in the barn and garage. Most of the shop tools are still in the garage at this point. The barn is still all gravel floor at this point.

Morning All -

Was curious … you guys an inside the garage at night or outside the whole time owner?

I know some owners don’t have garages, love their trucks all babied in garages, garages are too packed to fit any car in it, can only fit the wife’s car (lol), live in apartments with no garages… etc !?

Wondering how the elements are with you guys and what you all like to do with the upkeep barring each ???
I thought this was going to be another white letters in or out thread lol...my Ranger lives inside always...

Biggest reason I traded in the F150 besides the gas mileage, was to be able to park in my own garage while I'm in Phoenix. It's a tight fit in the 3rd car spot, but it's the only spot long enough with the 2 car side having storage cabinets.

Up in Idaho parking is not a problem with the workshop / pole barn.
