Not only will parking the F150L in a garage protect it from the elements but it will moderate the temperature of the battery giving it better performance. I really want to park my F150L in my garage if I can. Unfortunately, it will be VERY tight in my garage with a F150L in it.
The distance from the back wall of my garage to the garage door measures about 19'-6". The tech sheet for the F150L gives the overall length as 232.7 inches or 19'-4.7". I have been seriously concerned that the F150L won't fit in the garage so I have been obsessing about what to do.
I have a side entrance 2-car garage with a single double door, so some typical simple solutions to lengthen the garage, like installing carriage doors, won't really work for me. I have figured out how I can lengthen the garage buy rebuilding one of the walls but that would probably add another $10k onto the already expensive F150L purchase. I had heard about people notching out the walls of their garages to make room for their pickups but I never really took that suggestion seriously until I saw this picture, https://i.imgur.com/S1WmOb2.jpeg.
Now that I think about it, the idea appears fairly simple and not near as expensive as moving a wall. Basically all you are doing is building a new door frame in an existing wall. Anyway, this is what I plan to focus on for making room in my garage for my F150L and I hope this gives you guys some ideas about how to get a F150L in your garage as well.
