Will a Ram 1500 fit in your garage?
Checked against the four common garage setups, using the longest and tallest version of this truck — so a pass here is a pass for every configuration.
Single garage, 8×7 ft door
Fits — but tightOpening 96×84", bay 240" deep.
Depends on your configuration. The shortest version fits a 240 inch bay with 11 inches to spare; the longest is 242 inches long and would not close the door.
You will have to fold the mirrors every time. Extended they span 97.4 inches against a 96 inch opening; folded they come in at 82.6 inches.
- Depth spare: 11" shortest, -2" longest
- Headroom: 5.5"
- Mirror clearance: -1.4"
Single garage, 9×7 ft door
Fits — but tightOpening 108×84", bay 240" deep.
Depends on your configuration. The shortest version fits a 240 inch bay with 11 inches to spare; the longest is 242 inches long and would not close the door.
- Depth spare: 11" shortest, -2" longest
- Headroom: 5.5"
- Mirror clearance: 10.6"
Double garage, 16×7 ft door
Fits — but tightOpening 192×84", bay 240" deep.
Depends on your configuration. The shortest version fits a 240 inch bay with 11 inches to spare; the longest is 242 inches long and would not close the door.
- Depth spare: 11" shortest, -2" longest
- Headroom: 5.5"
- Mirror clearance: 94.6"
9×8 ft door, 24 ft deep
Fits comfortablyOpening 108×96", bay 288" deep.
Clears on length, width and height with room to work around it.
- Depth spare: 59" shortest, 46" longest
- Headroom: 17.5"
- Mirror clearance: 10.6"
"Mirror clearance" is the total, both sides combined — halve it for the gap at each mirror. A negative number means the mirrors have to be folded.
The mirrors add 18 inches
This is the number people forget. The Ram 1500 body is 79.4 inches wide, which sounds manageable against a 96 inch door — until the mirrors take it to 97.4 inches. Folded, it comes back to 82.6 inches.
| Measured across | Width | Through an 8 ft (96") door | Through a 9 ft (108") door |
|---|---|---|---|
| Body only | 79.4" | 16.6" spare | 28.6" spare |
| Mirrors folded | 82.6" | 13.4" spare | 25.4" spare |
| Mirrors extended | 97.4" | 1.4" too wide | 10.6" spare |

Ram 1500 size — frequently asked
How long is a Ram 1500?
Between 228.9 and 241.8 inches, depending on cab and bed. That spread is the whole ball game for a garage: the short configuration and the long one are effectively different vehicles when it comes to parking. Wheelbase runs 144.5 to 153.5 inches.
How wide is a Ram 1500?
79.4 inches across the body, 97.4 inches with the mirrors extended and 82.6 inches with them folded. The mirrors add 18 inches, and they — not the body — are what has to clear your garage door.
Will a Ram 1500 fit in a standard garage?
Yes, in 1 of the 4 standard setups checked on this page, and tightly in 3 more. The table above shows which, and what fails where it does not.
How tall is a Ram 1500?
77.5 to 78.5 inches, depending on drivetrain and suspension. A standard 7 ft garage door gives 84 inches of opening, so the stock truck clears — but a roof rack, light bar or lift kit eats that margin quickly.
What is the Ram 1500 bed width between the wheel wells?
51 inches. That is the number that decides whether sheet goods lie flat on the bed floor: a 48 inch sheet of plywood needs more than 48 inches of clearance, so anything under that has to ride on top of the wheel wells instead.
