TRX in a single stall garage?

[LoRAM]

Anyone out there have a TRX in a standard sized 1 car garage - without an extra few inches in either direction? I have a 2019 RAM that fits with a few inches to spare on the front and rear, and it’s a fairly tight squeeze to open the door and squeeze up to the entry door into the kitchen.

The entrance to the home is at the drivers side corner, and I’ve put off thoughts of a TRX simply due to my belief that it would completely render the entrance from the garage inaccessible. BUT, I really want a TRX and simple math tells me it would be feasible… and if I need to enter from the front door, or the separate two-car entrance, that it would be worth it! Anyone who can share some real-life experiences?

The separate two car is not an option, the wife’s kid-hauling Palisade resides there - and the ability to open both rear doors without hitting anything is a requirement for that garage… unfortunately!

I just got my TRX a week ago, and haven’t yet tried to put it in the garage. I have a three-car garage, but it has steel columns between each stall (since I have a couple of stories above it). So it is going to be TIGHT if it fits at all. Height-wise, I think I’ll have 1/2” of clearance. But width-wise, I don’t think it’s going to work. Even with the mirrors folded in, it will require a shoe horn.
i don’t really plan to park it inside regularly, but wanted to make sure it could in case of severe weather (like tornadoes or hail). That said, we are under a tornado watch tonight and I’m freaking out about the truck outside.
This is one of the reasons I’m thinking that the TRX won’t be my forever truck. It’s a beast, and beasts belong outdoors or in very large cages.

Hope the weather cooperated. Unfortunate news for me, but let me know how it goes if you attempt to cram it in at a later date!

Has anyone successfully shoehorned a TRX into a single stall garage?

I doubt it will fit in a standard width garage. Those 3 lights under the hood scoop are clearance lights, required when a vehicle exceeds a certain width. I don't think many 1 ton trucks are parked inside standard garages

The track on a TRX is exactly 6” wider than a Rebel (84.5” vs. 78.5”)

Clearance lights are required at 80" a Rebel does not meet those requirements. Also, not sure if those specifications include mirrors, but definitely sure it doesn't include door(s) opening, which plays a factor in garage sizing and such

I doubt it will fit. If by chance it does you probably won't be able to open the doors to get in or out of it. Dont know where you live but you may want to start looking at those "portable" carport/garages. Something similar to this https://www.harborfreight.com/10-ft-x-17-ft-portable-garage-62860.html

Correct, but the fenders are still narrower then the mirrors. I park my Big horn in a single car garage and The mirrors have a couple inches of clearance at the opening. That said it’s an 8 foot wide door, lots of people have tiny 7’ wide doors which you would have to fold the mirrors and I don’t think a TRX would go through that.

I hear ya. My father in law always teases me about how I baby my trucks and "don't even treat it like a truck" so I remind him he built a $150,000 trailer queen of a show car he doesn't even drive....to which he coughs and sputters LOL

I believe a little under 8' with mirrors out and a little over 7' with mirrors in.

Why would the doors be an issue? The TRX is only wider at the fenders and the wheels isn’t it? Seems like you’d be fine getting out of the truck if you can roll it in.

I "think" the TRX has the same cab. But there's a small amount of doubt in my mind, only because the aftermarket console vaults for a regular 1500 aren't sized correctly for a TRX.

No idea what's different with the trx, I dont have one. If the truck barely fits in then it will be tight all around.

You'll be fine width wise. My TRX fits (barley) without having to fold in the mirrors. Just make sure you have at least 82" of height.

...unless you have a Rambar. Then you need a little bit more. My garage is right at 82", and the Rambar just won't make it in.

This. If the truck fits you’ll be able to open your door just as much as you can now

Can someone pull a tape on their regular 1500? Roll down the windows and hook the end into the slot where the window goes down in to. The measure to the same spot across the cab.
My TRX measures 70-5/8" there.

Just measured mine, it’s the same. These trucks have identical cabs.

Thanks. Not sure why the console vaults are different then.

I have no idea. Maybe they just are saying it is so they can charge TRX owners more? No clue
