I hope you're happy, I just put my truck at risk for you. Not at all because I was curious, but for you @chrislittle.

My F-150L specs:
Width: 96
Height: 78.3
Length: 232.7

My garage specs:
Width: 105" (8.75ft)
Height: 78.375" (6.5ft)
Length: 234" (19.5ft)

I don't think I've played the game of "Let's just see if it'll fit" since high school..but it fits. Not something I'd want to do on a daily basis, but it fits. The top and back were more concerning than the sides, especially the two bulges on top...wait..just like high school!

I'm quite happy. thank you. looks like I have a good fit as I've got the following on my garage:

Width: 105"
Height: 81"
Length: > 250"

Hopefully I get good enough that backing into the garage is a breeze

Oh.. so you are a number 2 guy versus a husky guy.

Oh no, I’m a husky guy. Why do you think I was concerned about the top and bottom?

Got tired of being made fun of my man boobs and my fat ass. Did you think I meant something else?

You’ll be fine, I just pulled it in and out a couple more times. There’s plenty of side clearance. The top clearance for you will be much better and you have more length. That’s the biggest piece as I didn’t want to bash my taillight in, but you won’t have that issue.

Finally picked up my truck. MSRP deal although I didn’t get price protection on the $100 D&D increase and they insisted they’re losing money on the sale.
Bonus points if you can find my Slurpee surprise.

Color me impressed! But alas, if you had taken the photo 15 minutes before hand. It looks like the plate is on the truck, meaning you've taken delivery. So close...maybe next time.

On that note, I need to go back and edit the post. You guys are getting too close for comfort...

Even people on the FB group are rallying for us!

I can just imagine the pitiful sight next year on July 11 with all of you lined up for your free Slurps.

It would be awesome if it becomes a thing. Years from now, folks always take their first picture in front of a 7 Eleven…but nobody knows why or how it started

Took the truck to Costco tonight. Turns out I may need a SUPER mega power frunk..

Also found out a negative for Costco trips specifically. When packing the frunk to the gills and using one pedal driving. Get a catcher before opening the frunk. I hit the button from inside the cab and everything came pouring out. Oops. Should’ve grabbed some of those boxes on the way out.

I did the same thing and was wondering why there was a notch up front on the sub-frunk. At least maybe that’s a reason it’s there is containment.

I also wanted to check the battery jump connections on the passenger side of the frunk and promptly dropped two of the twist lock fasteners into the abyss below it.

Anyone help with a part number for the two different sized fasteners?

That’s the Costco gods telling you to buy the toilet paper cube and pack it right up front.

I got the tissues instead and it wasn’t wide enough..

Unfortunately I needed that extra curved part in front. That’s where my oregano and water bottles went. At least until they came rolling out.

The divider for me is also going to stay in that position pretty permanently. I carry straps and blankets in my truck and I’ve got them stuffed into the sub frunk there.

Ford screwed the pooch on the fasteners. I hosed up a couple before I noticed the universal symbol up at the “firewall” for lefty loosie righty tighty. I think that’s what it is. Anyway they are cheaply constructed and the intuitively obvious usability team at Ford should move the “instructions” next to the first fastener on the front, not in the dark corner under the stairwell on back of the door (hitchhikers guide to the universe). Yes, part numbers please.
