A local dealer got in a Sport that has everything I want, and a few other things as well.

Looking at the 4dr, crew cab, 4x4. Length is ~19.5ft, and I have a 20ft garage.

How many people can fit their truck in the garage? If you can...what size is the garage?

My garage door is
7 feet tall approximately
8 feet wide approximately

the garage is
20 feet long
12' 6" wide at the widest point

I park outside, the door is too narrow by 1" & no way to walk around the Ram with the door closed
Garage is used for Harley Davidson Trike parking & tool benches, tools, etc

I have a CC that fits in a standard 2 car garage. I took my time postioning the truck then bought a rubber floor stop and glued it to the floor. So now it fits perfectly, about 1/2" off the front wall and roughly a 1/2" off the door when its closed. Have to open the garage to get around the truck but its worth it.

My truck fits and I have a little more room front to back but I have to pull in the mirrors on both sides. I made a mirror closer/opener out of PVC I got at Home Depot, I put the foam pipe insulation on the end so nothing gets scratched. Now I don't have to get out of the truck to drive in the garage!

My wife wouldn't be too happy with that....she enjoys parking inside too.

We have an outdoor shed, so there isn't really anything but the cars in the garage.

Here's hoping!

We'll find out tomorrow; quite simply...if the salesman won't let me take a truck home, deal's off with him.

Plenty of room, haha. My 2010 QC 1500 fit fine in my garage. I had to measure like 500 times to make sure my 2012 2500 Power Wagon fit, and it does. I have about a foot total clearance front to back, and 1" from the roof to the top of the garage. It is a snug fit, but she's in there. I'll have to get some pics, its really funny, especially sitting next to my wifes scion Tc

My garage was odd shaped... 22 feet long for one half and about 19 on the other half due to the closet containing my hot water tank and heater. 22 ft is plenty of room to pull the Ram 1500 Quad cab in with several feet to spare in front and a few inches back at the bumper. 20 foot long garage would indeed be a tight fit.

What cracks me up are my neighbors who park $30K plus autos out in the elements in order to protect $50 worth of junk in the garage! We can get some hellacious hailstorms here during spring storm season, too.

Tip: Tie a tennis ball to a string and position it hanging from the ceiling so it just touches your windshield so you know you have pulled far enough in.
