Ram Mega Cab

If you put the b&w hitch with the pucks, how much room do you have in front of it? I have a toolbox /tank combo in my current truck that I want to put in a new truck.

I have seen Larry's RV, it's in showroom condition!

Our 2001 alpenlite has never been in a garage but it sits on our driveway for 6 months and 6 months in Casa Grande AZ in full sun. However it gets plenty of care to keep it looking great. Walking around this rv resort it really shows how much the hot summer sun eats up the rv's that sit here for 12 months.

A garage would be great so Nichols go for it.

I can't wait to build the garage on our land for the 5th to sit in out of the elements.

Same goes for the FW; one would be foolish to think that indoor storage is not better than it sitting outside all winter!

X2. It seems silly to make any other argument.

I am expanding my garage so I can get my 4th car in it. I hate scraping the windows when it is cold out, and over time, you can't really say that a vehicle that sits outside year round is in the same condition as something garaged.

I have never waxed our 99 Tahoe, owned it for 10 years at least and sits out all the time in the NW. Still looks great.

I NEVER ride in the back seat of my truck. I have NEVER been asked to move my seat forward but I do ask if the person behind needs more room. I am 6'-2" so I do have my seat back a bit. I care much more about being able to have my HighwatProducts 30" front to back and bed height tool box. No slider hitch and don't care if it fits in a garage.

But it's nice to have choices. People in the market need to look both over before making up their mind.

I'm a bit fussy so I DO care if it fits in the garage. Having it in there is MUCH better than sitting out in the elements in any season.

I have to agree. Our new house finally has a garage and our new truck now sits in it. Always hated having to park such a beautiful rig out in the elements when it wasn't being used.
The garage just barely fit the Mega Cab. As long as the nose was just a hair away from the door you could walk behind the tailgate and the work bench but couldn't put the tailgate down.
New Crew Cab fits so nice but again its not a Mega but atleast its in the garage.

Our 05 sits in our garage for 6 months and 6 month outside in the winter sun of Az. Never waxed it. maybe someday when it gest old I will have the wife tackle the job.

My 11 HO Dually sat out in the NW and SW from 9/11 to 3/15 and never was waxed in the 65K I owned it but it looked like new on trade. I would personally never let a garage make my decision. I buy what I need.

But like i say nice to have choices!

At least you have HIPS!
