38k sticker or after discount?

38k sticker means Hemi, 4x4, crew cab, and a few options. That's it.

Not even close for me. My Durango and GTO barely fit in my garage. An addition is in the cards.

42K sticker and no alarm here either.

I'll never know if mine fits in the garage. I cant talk my wife in to parking her Jag or Mini cooper outside, so I'm stuck in the driveway.

Its good to know that the homelink won't work if someone breaks in to the truck.

Well, I had to move my trash cans which gave me about two foot clearance between the back and the garage door. But, I need to back my Ram out if I want to get my Harley out. That is the only issue I have with the length of the Ram.

Default Garage Parking

Ive got plenty of room fitting in my garage about 5' in front and 6" in back thanks to my handy dandy tennis ball on a string But it is much more difficult pulling into my side entry garage than my 1997 Dakota Quad cab was. I even have to back it out and pull it back in if my wife is taking it somewhere because she is scared of rubbing the mirriors. I seriously am going to in the future remove my two doors and install one large single door to make it less difficult.

Quick question: Isn't the quad cab the same size as the Crewcab? I thought they were the same frame just different cab and bed sizes.

I took a tape measure.

have to pull mine in at an angle the turn and miss the wall beside the roll up door.

Thank goodness for the back up sensor. It goes solid its time to stop.
I have tape on the wall marking where my door open should be lined up, with me sitting back in the seat.

We have hurricanes where I live. Outside is not an option...for anything.

1" to 1.5" in front and back and that's it. I have a curb to stop me at the right spot.
