My garage door height is 6 feet and 9". The length of the garage is 21 feet long from wall to garage door.

Will a 2006 Dodge 2500 RAM 4x4 quad cab with the 8 foot bed fit in my garage??? I am concerned of overall height and length.

Length 247" or 20'7"
Height 78.9"

Amazingly enough I found that info on the Dodge website.

Thats what I call a tight squeeze.

Pet05,

Funny that you should mention garage length :-)... After going out and looking at the new Dodge's, the first thing I did when I got home was measure the length of my garage stall. Thank God for work shops... Luckily my garage was built with a small work shop area just behind the parking stall. A BIG hammer and about 1 hour later - I was all set to buy...

I also did the ol'hanging tennis ball routine to make sure I only pulled in as far as I had too...

I just recently bought an 06 Megacab. A short bed of course, but on the longbed frame. She's long, but she fits just fine...

Thanx,

Jax

Mine will be a tight fit. I will only have a couple of inches to spare both height & length wise.

my SWB QC only fit after I took the drywall off the studs - I need to touch the wall with my front bumper and the rear will just clear the hinges on the door. I must fold in both mirrors. I also had to cut the bracket that attaches my garage door opener to the door and adjust the opener to pull the door all the way up.

Even without my Ranch Hand Front Bumper mine would stick 6'' out the door while touching the other wall with the nose of the truck. It just barely would fit through the door without touching the top of my cab.

Needless to say, my black truck sits in the hot sun.

It really irks me that builders of these homes won't build the garages just a little bigger. An extra couple of feet in every direction wouldn't cost very much in materials but would make our lives so much easier, regardless of the size of your vehicle.

Even on a half-ton truck if you have to get out and pull in the mirrors and try to squeeze it in the garage....then try to squeeze out without hitting a 2nd vehicle or another object or the wall.....what a PITA.

Don't ever go to 35" tires with that 6'9" door. I can get under the door, then I hit the garage door opener.

I have to close the sunroof on mine to accomplish this!!

I'm having to change my plans for my motorcycle shop to fit the truck also. I couldn't go any bigger than the 295 Nitto's or it wouldn't fit in the garage.

Never waist a perfectly good garage on a vehicle!
Where are you going to put your junk?
Actually up here you are better off leaving your vehicle outside, especially in the winter.
In a guarage the melting of the snow and ice make it rust faster.
Just put a good coat of wax on the truck a couple of times a year and leave 'er outside.
