Oh come on!  Be adventurous.  :-)

I have a two car, two door garage.  When I first purchased my house, I
was concerned that my truck wouldn't fit into the garage from height,
depth and width perspective.  The result is that it does fit but I have
to:

1) Width: Fold the side mirrors in.  I have about 6 inches total width
(3 inches on each side if I stab it directly center) of wiggle room
when pulling in.

2) Height: My satellite radio antenae pod sits on top of the cab.  I am
just able to squeeze under the top of the door opening with 3/4" to
spare.

3) Length: I have exactly 2 inches total of extra room.  So, if I leave
my hitch on, I can't close the garage door.

I only pull it into the garage when 1) the weather is getting bad or 2)
when I know I won't be driving it for a few days.

Your truck may fit.  Problem is, if you truly have a one car garage,
the only way out is the sliding rear window.  :-)

I have found that not having depth perception only really affects
day to day things about once every other day. Now, the problem
with the new truck is that I have a one car garage and won't even
attempt to pull the truck into it. I may be able to get it in but would
certainly play heck getting it back out.  :-)

I also don't have depth perception and have no problem with the "stick on's"
and the mirror.

I just bought my new truck and I have been searching for
"In channel" side window deflectors but have not had
luck. Dodge sells the "stick on" or "tapped" kind instead.

Anyone had any luck finding some for your's? I am aware
of the back 2 windows being the tape on kind. It is the
front two that worry me the most. I don't have any depth
perception so I need the side mirrors to not be blocked
by the kind that go all the way down the window.

Thank you so much for your help.
