I don't have a 21' wide garage but I plan to build the same size to achieve at 20' interior width with 2x6 construction. For the last 5 years or so I've had a parking pad that measures 20'x20' and there are no problems parking a full size truck there. My old roommate had a F150 and I have a Frontier and both vehicles fit just fine. Now obviously 20' is not deep enough when you factor in garage doors but assuming you don't store things on the walls the width will be a non factor.

I should add an 18' garage door would help. I think backing into a 20' interior width garage with a 16' door in a full size truck might be tricky. Especially if you don't have a straight shot which it looks like you don't.

Now, can you not store things on the walls? I don't have a garage but from what I can tell they're mostly used as hoarding vessels and not vehicle parking.
