Wow! What’s the length of your garage 20 feet? I was nervous when I bought my truck and moving to the new house 1900 miles away not remembering how big the garage was. Luckily the garage is a tad oversized 24ft x 24ft with 9 ft height. Managed to get a Tahoe and the ram in it with no problems.

You guys make me jealous. My garage has 14' to the rafters, but it's too damn short to park my Limited CC 5'7" and get the garage door closed.

10 feet to the back of my garage means no laundry room and a chunk of a guest bedroom.

Contractors build to minimum specs on prebuilt spec houses. It's all about the $$$. I'm in the process of building an extra garage/shop. It's 60 x 30 with 4 10x10 doors. My attached garage is 22 feet deep but has a 6' 10" ft tall door opening. Not sure why anyone would do that.
Wow.
Mine fits with plenty of room to spare. But I added 7' to my garage length in a recent renovation

A contractor once told me unless it’s a custom home they build garages as minimum as possible and often don’t finish them out just mud and tape. This is because that square footage isn’t considered livable and doesn’t count on the square footage of livable space which people pay for. I just bought my house and luckily it’s a new build with an over sized two car garage. This spring I’m having a four car detached built so I can get the rest of my toys out of storage.

It's a custom designed metal building by Reed's. 60 x 40 pole barn with 14 ft walls and 4x12 pitch roof. The roof extends 12 ft extra on front and back to form "lean to" areas. Also 12 ft lean to's on both ends. 6" concrete throughout.
ll be glad to finally get my tractors, RV, and toys all under roof and have a shop for hobbies.

I measured my garage at least a half dozen times and compared the measurements against the available specs before I purchased the truck to make sure it would fit.
It's tight, but it fits!
