Best Winter Toy hauler

For insulation, I was thinking DRV FullHouse. But looks like they only go up to a 12' garage.

Building for cold temps means a lot of extra weight, which would put the purpose of a toy hauler overweight.
There is one, if you have the money. New Horizons Custom Built. Would have to trade your truck up to a highway tractor to tow one.

Why do you want a 14' garage? For a small car? Toys only need 9'.

If possible, consider using a second trailer or a 'tote'

Nine feet? That's not even enough room for me to change my mind.

Our RZR barely fit in a 9' garage, like, we had to park it against the front wall of the garage to get the rear door to close, and forget about having a spare tire that stuck out at all on the back. A RZR 4 is 12'2". So no, not all toys only need 9' :)

would like the 14' garage as we have a jr dragster that is 13.6' long, could go 13' or even 12' but will have to put dragster on angle from top to bottom.
Truck is 4X2 with turbo diesel not sure of gearing my guess would be 4.10 as rpm @ 70mph is close to 2500. Crew cab Lariat version, back doors are smaller.
13,000 lbs does limit options. Time to rethink

From what I find, here are the specs for your truck, 11,500 GVWR, 3922 max payload, if 4x2, you have a 13000 max 5th wheel capacity, if 4x4 you have a 12600 max 5th wheel cap with 3.73 or 4.10 gearing same either way. Your GCWR in 20,000lbs. That all is based on a crew cab with 7.3 diesel pickup. So with all that being said you will either need to upgrade your truck or downsize considerably your expectations for a 5th wheel. That info was on fords tow rating website. Feel free to double check it. Not trying to burst your bubble so to speak just want you to have realistic expectations as to what your truck can safely handle.

Truck is a dually, 49,000 miles all easy miles

Well I'll just say that if you have a single rear wheel truck then your going to be limited to a GVWR on a toy hauler of about 17K or even less because of the age of your 01. No 14ft garages on any of those that I know of. If you have a dually then that will open up a few more but because of the age of your truck, you'll still be limited because the 14ft garage models are generally heavier than what your truck will handle. The one true 14ft garage toy hauler I can think of is the new Weekend Warrior 4100 or 4250 models. There are some 16ft garage models out there also all of which I doubt your truck can handle. Most haulers that size will have a pin weight of 3600# and up which I believe narrows trucks down to a dually in the 2010 maybe up to current model years.
