Welcome!

Shoulda measured (or brought one home for a 'test fit') before buying. That's why I ended up with a Quad Cab. QC is 4" shorter than a short bed CC. QC just barely fit in my garage.

Used car values are extremely high right now. Maybe you can sell it for more than you paid.

A Maverick perhaps? Maybe not though as most are already sold out to people with mammaries

I have a 24' deep garage,(outside measurements are 24X28) and my 1500 with 5'7 bed fits, but is fairly tight. No way you are going to fit your truck in your garage with a trick, or tip...just way too small.

Come on everyone, anything is possible if you believe in yourself.

The first thing i would do is, remove your bed, and cut a few inches out of the frame, weld it back together, and do the same for the bed. You will have to have your bedsides re painted. but this is the cleanest route.

or just remove your rear bumper, quick and easy, but it will make your truck look incomplete.

its a wall towards mudroom

Sounds like it will be sleeping outside unless you move that wall.

Drywall and 2x4 construction? If it's a support wall it will be a pain, but you could always push out the wall into the mud room

Pull in diagonal? Trade for a quad cab or go for a smaller truck?

For what it's worth I feel you. Our garage is long enough but not tall enough.

Man, I hate to be unhelpful but I'm not even sure how you respond to a question like this other than the first poster. It's not like you bought a Transformer or a Lego-truck, where you can just pop some pieces out and reassemble it shorter. What kinds of options could anyone offer other than make the truck shorter or the building longer, or change vehicles or change residences? Hell, it doesn't seem like much of a stretch to ponder that for a second and not have to create an account to ask that on an online forum

And there it is …. Common sense in a nutshell !!!

Build a frame around the garage door 12" out and attach the garage door to the frame.

This reminds me of the people you see that buy a gas grill, big screen tv, etc. and wonder why it doesn't fit in the trunk of their civic. Not helpful response, but I brought a truck home to make sure it would fit in the garage.
