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. :-)

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 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.
