I don’t park trucks in the garage they’re trucks
unless we’re talking a K-Blazer or Bronco restomod or some other classiC the garage is for tools, toys, & hiding shit you don’t want strewn across the front yard.
sometimes I park the raptor in the front yard just to **** off my fellow McMansion suburban neighbors
But trucks- any truck- basically don’t belong in a garage
my 18x42’ garage houses 1-2 jet skis, a Polaris Atv, random tools/kids toys, my Z06, & in inclement weather the wife’s MDX. The raptor stays in garage
How much of a ***** would I feel inching the raptor outta my garage right after a scary snow storm....ooooohhhh it might get dirty, the horror!!!! Lol!
If that’s your bag tho- tennis ball on a string Does do the trick (you do realize tho you bought the truck they sell that’s made for off-roading & jumping shit right?)

Thanks for all that input and your opinion. My Waverunner is outside under a cover. it's meant to get wet, why is yours in the a garage..Just kidding. I have my reasons to keep it in the garage. Thanks for all your input guys, I think I might have a plan.
Mine stays in the driveway. Shelby and Harley get priority.
I have a short driveway, so I painted a small line on the garage door and when the hood line and the line meet, I'm 1-2" off the door. You can put a rubber mat on the wall just in case you get too close.

Yea that’s pretty much my plan. Making a line, bumper on the wall and a wheel chock marked to the correct distance.

I have a 4x4 cutoff on the ground, just back up until I feel it touch the tire. The block doesn't move but I imagine if I was worried I would just get something bigger/heavier.
Tennis Ball method is classic and reliable one too

As you can see, one car is garaged, guess which one it is? It isn’t the Raptor

Same problem with my garage, I have work benches in the back of both bays and I used a 3" thick foam pad that hung from the workbench and the front camera. When the front bumper touches the foam that`s as far as I can go.
This setup left me with less then 2" between the rear bumper and the garage door. I thought about taking out the front work bench just so I could walk around the truck with the garage doors shut. I could do a K turn in my garage with my jeep and open the doors all the way, I do miss that with the raptor so maybe a garage makeover is due? Or just leave it outside.
Maybe put something like this on the outside of the garage door instead
