My wife calls a short bed (6.5ft) pickup a "half truck" and says she never wants one!
Our long bed crew cab diesel truck fits in our garage with room to spare behind but we never keep it in the garage as there are other vehicles and things that need the spot more. Therefore, it's only been in the garage once to see if it would even fit and it sure does and just fine. Some people must have tiny short garages. The kind usually found in tight jammed together housing developments with postage stamp sized lots and most often have HOA's so your home is not really your castle as it's actually controlled by others!
