Length for me is no problem as I can get it in either side. The side where the motorcyles are parked it fits with an inch to spare on each end. It is the height where I have an issue. It only clears with about an inch or so to spare. The 4X4 that I really wanted would clear the door but likely hit the door opener or arm. My garage is in the basement and therefore the doors are really short.

Damn. I sure wish I had more garage... all this house and only a small 2 car garage with single doors. Truck fits with 1 - 6" each side and I could never fit my boat in there...

I ordered an alarm with mine because it's a part of the remote start option. It was only around $300. I don't see any benifits exspecially financial to not installing them standard.

I measured my old truck ('99 F-150 supercab) and compared it w/ the specs on the new Ram Quad cab, so I knew it would fit before I bought it. However, I didn't realize how wide the mirrors are on the Ram; Thankfully it still fits, but I sure don't have much wiggle room on the sides.

I have the 09 Crew.

I drive in till I hit the drywall and I have a whole 1.5" in the back! Would it kill the contractors to add a foot?

We just built our house a year ago and I had them build 8 foot high doors and each bay of the 3 car garage is 26 feet long, so my 09 fits in with no problem.

I'm jealous. We're definitely building our next house (already have most of it laid out) and I'm building a monster garage.
