I realized after I posted this that it is in the wrong forum. Unfortunately, I don't know how to correct that.

 

You could get a house with a bigger garage......

Try this?

 

Measure twice, park once.

 

There's also this:

 

My T doesn't fit in mine either. We're building a new house right now, and I actually paid to upgrade the length of the garage cuz i'm tired of the Pathfinder in the garage and I have to get out of the Titan in the rain.

 

My car has about a good 6" of wiggle room (no that's NOT what she said) but I eyeball it by lining up the side mirror with my leaf blower.

 

I have the wife’s car and our Harleys in the garage, have always had my trucks outside. No biggie.

 

One of the reasons I bought my Titan is because it fits in the garage....and it barely fits. I only park it in the garage if hail is in the forecast.
I believe it's one of the shorter trucks compared to the others, so if the Titan didn't fit, you might have a hard time finding something that does.

 

it won't fit in mine. my garage and house were built in the 40s so i have two single car garages next to each other, basically. they are thin, like if i put the bmw in the garage, you could only get in the driver's side and i could park my bicycle at the end and be ok. in the other one, i have a riding lawn mower and two rolling tool boxes so no cars are fitting in there.

 

When my wife and I were looking for a house we had only 3 criteria, and 1 was a 2-car garage. The day I bought the house, I tried to park in the garage and it sticks out about 4" preventing the garage door from lowering. I cannot park at an angle to make it work. From what I have read, there are basically 3 options: 1) extend the space by taking the far wall in a little to afford room for the truck (not worth it in my opinion), 2) extend the space by getting a ramp so maybe going up diagonally would grant me access, 3) reducing the length of the truck by replacing the rear bump with a roll pan or something like that. This 3rd option seems more likely. Just wondering if anyone has figured out a solution to this issue.
I have a 2012 Titan SV Sports Appearance Package.
Unfortunately, if I cannot find a viable solution I may be selling this truck to purchase something that fits. Which makes me sad because I love my Titan.

The ramps won’t gain you 4”. That’s a-lot of space to make up. That’s a tough one. I love parking in the garage too. I’d be tempted to find a new truck...

 

I read this the other day and didn't comment because I didn't have much to add at the time. But as it's kind of hung around the back of my mind, I'm wondering if there is a solution here. Unless you have a long bed crew cab (which you didn't indicate, so I'm betting you don't) your Titan is 18' 9" in length. That's for the KC or the CC short bed. Very few garages built in the last 30-40yrs are less than 19' in length in areas I've lived. Most are either 19x20 or 20x20 on the lower end. When we built our house, I had a requirement that the garage be 22' deep, which is great. If I had it to do over again, I'd have done a 3-car and made it closer to 28' deep. But that's my problem, not yours. Is your garage, with the door closed, less than 19' from door hinge to back wall? Or is the issue that there are cabinets, shelves, or some other thing in the way? Because cabinets or shelves can be removed pretty easily, relatively speaking, and make room for the truck. you don't even have to remove all the cabinets/shelves - just a section as wide as the front of your truck. But maybe your garage is only 18'4" deep and you're really 4" short.

 

I also am having new garage being built and extending to 25' (to have room behind truck for storage and fridge). I don't think it's exactly 25', more like 24'8" or so.

 

If it makes you feel better, I'm sure he also doesn't know how to extend his garage, should he need to.

Y'all done made me go measure! 20'6" from wall to door.

 

Our structured wiring box is in the utility closet in the garage, so we have network, tv, and all other capabilities easily accessible in the garage. When I build the second, I'm actually contemplating running a ductbank with six or seven chases in two pipes to run Cat6 out to the second garage and keep a single unified network.

 

When my parents were building their home, I suggested my father at least run fiberoptic for the living area where he was going to put his home theater. He wound up just running speaker wire, but I think it was a good decision on his point as fiberoptics was never something he wound up using. The problem is trying to make your home future proof, and if you pick the wrong tech, it could be the difference between betamax HD DVD and vhs and bluray.

 

Yep. I ran surround wiring in our great room, bonus room upstairs, and master bedroom. Ran whole house audio wiring as well, to the master bath (over the wife's garden tub), out to the back porch, and to the dining room and the formal living room (which is more or less a library in our house, as it's a couple of bookshelves and a very comfortable chair of mine, and a nice loveseat/ottoman combo my wife picked out. I ran wiring into the ceiling and then blocked off the volume control boxes. Hindsight says I should have put mud rings, not deep boxes, as even deep boxes aren't deep enough for good impedence matching volume controls. All these run off the main amp in the great room, using the second zone line level outputs to a driver amp in the master closet, which routes to the structured wiring box in the garage to a passive distribution panel for the stereo signal out to all the rooms. Funny part is, I ran all that wiring, but didn't end up getting around to installing the speakers and volume controls until last year. We just never had the time and money at the same point, and the 2008 depression took fully a decade of work to just get back where we were when the crash occurred. (My industry collapsed and I took a major pay cut after being out of work for 18mo, which at up our life savings.) So last year it became a priority and I finally got it all in and working for Mother's Day, with the help of my son. Wife loves it, and I can't believe I waited this long to finish it, as I really enjoy it, too. I'll definitely put in a hard-wired whole-building stereo system out in the second garage when it gets built, and run it off the amp upstairs in the room with the pool table. With the amps today, you can set it all up and just connect to the wifi and control the amp through an app. It's amazing. No need for an IR repeater to control settings on the driver amp in the master closet!

I've thoroughly thread-jacked here, for sure, but it's been fun talking about it. Now I kind of want to build my second garage even more!

 

My advice: Insulate the whole garage, even if you don't heat/cool it. In the winter here, when it's in the teens outside (northern Alabama has pretty good temp swings from winter to summer), my garage has never been colder than 47deg. In the summer, when it's 99-102, my garage is 80 or maybe as warm as 85deg. But in comparison to outside, it feels like the dadgum thing is climate controlled. When I build the second garage out back, it will be a 40x30 four-car setup (already have the plans drawn, but won't be building it this year while lumber is through the roof) with 14' ceilings in the shop area. I'll insulate it and probably go ahead and put in a split system to climate control it, as I'm going to have to put something in for the guest suite that will go upstairs so we have room for the kids/grandkids to come back home for the holidays (and so I can have a pool table and some man-space).

Plus one on the 40 x 30 garage. Ours is set up as a 3 car with a tandem capability. I wanted to be able to get in and out of our vehicles without worrying about opening doors etc. The space is great with room for shelving and all our supplies. It's perfect for my Titan.

 

Get Mrs Lockhorne to park it . Then it will fit.

 

Ain't it great that the OP hasn't even been back since posting?

 

We looked at a new house today. Truck wasn't going to fit, wife said no-go

 

That's a keeper! Good luck with the search. We're getting ours ready to sell,it sucks. I hate moving. LOL.

 

My 04 KC SE 4x4 fits my garage with about two inches to spare. But, I keep my Infiniti in there one one side, 3 motorcycles and my corner Server system / work area occupies the other.

So, the Titan has lived outdoors all its life. If I were to move (unlikely in the foreseeable future), I'd get a smaller house and a bigger garage. And / Or a barn.

 

me too. i am kind of anxious about it too because where i work has been steadily losing work and we are down to less and less people. it makes me nervous to be looking at houses but you know how chicks are, most of the time they don't give a crap about bills because they magically get paid each month (by us)

 

Dude, you and me both. I'm stressed AF! You guys on here and Fbook talking about trucks is keeping me sane. LOL.
