I have a 2021 F150 Platinum Powerboost. I had to remove and replace the antenna with a shorter one. It is only there for AM/FM anyway, but the shorty worked.

It fits. Nice and snug. Actually I tried out the fit with my FILs GMC Sierra first (same length based on specs). I have about 18" to spare
To be fair I actually have about 27ft of depth in the single bay, but this is in the 2 car bay that I normally park in. Kid sleeps above the single bay garage so didn't want to be waking him up at 530 in the morning.

Sir, I am impressed you are repping the Purple and Gold behind enemy lines.

Got some pics of how tight it is in the parking garage at my condo. Living here you get one stall assigned, or you fight for street parking that might be very very far away and subject to breakins. You can see that a superduty would be very dangerous, as it would stick out 15" further into the driving path. THIS is why people do their best to make an F150 work with their towing setup and why "jUSt gEt a sUPeRdUTy" becomes an obnoxious response because it is not an option.

Wow! Great idea to place the marker on the ground to ensure that you park as far back as possible. Have you tried park assist in that spot?

I did! It was not finding a valid spot for some reason. I should try it again when I leave today. Curious to see how many fwd/rev iterations it makes

But really only because I can steal a couple of inches from the tandem garage spot in front of it...

Still waiting on my tuck but I’m curious how much of a gap do you need to be able to scoot behind the tuck to get to the other side for the average skinny guy? I’ll have about a foot between the door and the front bumper. I can only run so many scenarios with blue painters tape on the floor haha.

I'll likely have to keep the garage door open so I can pass around to the other side. I'll have about 3 inches of space left after parking the car. Oh well. ??‍♂

No garage here, but I can tell you that an XLT with FX4 package, a 6 inch lift and 325/60r BFG K02 tires with 20 inch wheels will JUST fit under the 7 foot markers on touchless washes and parking garages. The xm/modem antennas go under the markers by about a quarter inch. Had to poke my head through the moonroof as I creeped forward to make sure. So mine is 83.75 inches tall with above mods.

Yes, mine fits without 5" up front and 1" off the hitch to the wall. I typically back it in the garage. She normally sits outside unless there is a storm coming and she comes in incase there is hail. Put a stubby antenna on bc it hit the garage door everytime.

It does fit with room to spare, but so did they last F150 and the 01 F250 7.3l before that, so no surprise. It’s likely gonna hail this afternoon too, but not on this truck. I really loved that 7.3l but 375k miles was enough for me. Time to let someone else have the pleasure of that one.

That is an amazing garage!! I'd love to have that! The first couple weeks I got it, the weather threatened hail, so I had to drive it to a parking garage a few miles away and let it sit there until the storms passed.

Alright! Finally my turn to post pictures. Thanks to input from you guys on this thread, I knew height wasn't a concern but length would be my issue. I make it into the garage with maybe 4 inches (2 in the front and 2 in the back) to spare. I'll have to get something to put up against the wall that I can feel as I slowly drive up to it. If anyone has any ideas on what I can use, let me know!

I use some chopped stone with a sand bag behind it as a physical wheel stop.
