Let’s Play “Will it Fit?” - But seriously, will it??

Dr. TRX · Mar 5, 2023

According to official dimensions (232.9”L; 88”W; 80.9”H), I’ll be barely scrapping by with the height. But I’m concerned about the width, especially since the stupid corners are cuff off. Based on this official photo, and some back-of-the-napkin trigonometry, I “should” be fine. But I’d really like to have exact measurements of the roof width, but I can’t find any dimensions online. My TRX should be arriving within 2 weeks so I’d like to know. Any thoughts or does anyone have actual measurements at the roof and maybe at driver eye-height?

No Rambar, right? Mine is 82.5” tall with the Rambar, and that’s about 3/4” higher than the Shark Fin. So if you don’t have a Rambar, then you’ll fit. Width shouldn’t be a problem, as long as you’re careful lining up as you enter and back out.
I have 102” between my garage columns, and there’s plenty of room. Fender flares and folded-in mirror elbows are the tight spots for me, but only because I have to enter at an angle and crank it over to square up.

My garage door opening is 95 wide by 82 tall and I fit with folded mirrors. Vertically got about an inch from the antenna. Not too bad. I park it and pull it out daily without any issues.

You’re good to go unless you have a RamBar. Almost identical setup, the antenna fin will clear and I fold the mirrors each time.

No Rambar. There is a tree straight out my garage door, but there should be enough room to straighten up before entering the garage. I’ll just have to do it carefully from what y’all are saying, but I’m pretty good. i hope it ain’t too much of a pain for daily access. Thank you!

I'd take the tree down if it's too close. I hate trees on my property though.

That’s a great idea

Check the length too. I get mine into an 8x7 garage door (mirrors in of course) and pull it in/out daily. I measured like 50 times though. Haha. The length was the major concern though. It fits by about 6 inches.

Yeah length I should be good, I have about 256”. I see your garage door opening is cut off at the corners like mine, and it‘s narrower than mine, so I should be good with width, good! Yours is taller opening though, but it seems like even at 82.5” my TRX should fit according to the other posts. I’m crossing my fingers!!!!

Awesome, you should be golden then. Good luck with the timing of the TRX, hope it comes asap. It’s the best truck on the road.

The width of the fenders and sloping inward body line going to the top of the truck will make the angled part of the door a non factor. The top of the truck is a lot narrower than the fenders and even the belt line of the windows

Ok good. I just wanted to make sure the official picture wasn’t a forced-perspective or that I just wasn’t crazy and missing something.

@DMR what’s your garage length? Looks super tight? That will be my biggest concern

Got Pipe · Mar 5, 2023

Just back it in. Watch both sides as you go and fold the mirrors in right before you need to. Won't need anything else helping. Also makes leaving easier. Just drive straight out.

My garage length is about 248. It’s tight but line her up straight, back in slow and use your mirrors until you have to swing them in. Use the back up camera to get you close to the wall and you’re in! After a few times, I can do it pretty quick now.

Oh boy, 236” is going to be real tight

I have a 3 car tandem, with an 8 foot high door.... I park on the side with the tandem... So height or length was never an issue..

When I picked up the truck, the wife was driving a Lexus GS350, and pulling the TRX in... when she was already parked, was brainless, and I never even folded in my tow mirrors.

Her new SUV is only about 7-8 inches wider... But that little extra width.. Stresses me out, so now I fold my mirrors when I pull it in or out.

I have a few bikes stored on the wall on the right side of where she parks... If I find a new home for those... Even with her crappy parking, It will be less stressful again.

Looks like you easily have enough height... Put your tire PSI at about 15-20 if you don't have a dependable spotter on it's maiden entry.
