A standard single garage door is 9’ wide by 7’ tall, so that makes it a VERY tight squeeze for any full size pickup. My Tacoma fits in mine just fine, but my Tundra has to be parked in my shop that has industrial type roll up doors.

1968-1995 Toyota Hi-Lux.


Along with the Mazda and Nissan/Datsun pickups of the same general vintage, these were the best vehicles for actually hauling moderate sized loads by actual people who need to haul moderate-sized loads, ever built. No testosterone boosting, though, so they were replaced by the ever-more-enormous modern style.

A standard F250 is only a little over 6 feet and a little over 6.5 ft wide so it would fit.but if it’s got a lift kit than no it won’t fit. I see plenty of HD pickups in garages we’re i live. When i did live in Florida the garages looked smaller than those in the metro Detroit area.

My daughters full-size 4 door bighorn ram fits in her garage along with her camper, you all must have small garages. In my area the garages are big and i see full-size pickups in them all over.

It won't even get close to fitting in mine.
Find the nicest, newest Ford Ranger you can.

Something like that would fill the bill.

Get a Tacoma and it will be the last truck you ever have to buy. Do not buy a colorado or canyon. They are piles of junk. This is coming from a guy with a garage full of GM trucks and SUV's and a Corvette. The new GM trucks are piles of sheyut. If you don't want to believe me, go ask a local mechanic.

They must have the baby bed in the back. Everyone around here with a full size truck seems to park them outside. Mirrors, cab length, and bed length are a constraining factor.

Dihatsu HiJet
Honda Acty
Subaru Sambar
Suzuki Carry

The Acty and HiJet would be easier to get parts for

The S10 would fit fine. I just hate full size tanks.

Please read the thread title. It's no good arguing that you know someone with a full size truck that can squeeze it into the garage, when the OP has clearly stated HE DOESN"T WANT A FULL SIZE TRUCK.


Do you REALLY think a "full size 4 door bighorn ram" whatever that is, would qualify as a "small narrow pickup"?
