who fits their truck inside a garage?

[domer94]

so i finally decided to go look at an 04 yukon xl denali with 115k on it for 10k. my suv search went this way after pursuing an 06 jeep commander but the deal fell apart due to a slimeball used car dealer (hate them all). anyhow , i was hot on the commander due to it being able to fit inside a standard 2 car garage. my house was built in 91 and has some nice space, but the entry stpes bite into the length. one would think in 1991 , builders would have recognized the trend towards large suv's!
it will kill me to keep this thing outside escpecially when i have a good garage, so it lead me to ask you all how many folks get to keep their indoors.

will update you on the purchase if it happens tomorrow. im lookng to trade my 09 chevy hhr ss

I have a 04 Yukon xl and i park it in my garage. My house was built in 91 as well

My esv fits great in my garage, with at least 3foot walkin space front to back. My house was built in the prob the 40's or 50's. 2 3/4 car garage

Silly question......did you measure the garage space in question?

Here are the specs of the vehicle you are looking at: http://autos.yahoo.com/gmc/yukon-xl-denali/2004/all-wheel-drive/specifications.html

Grab a tape measure

My burb fits in the garage fine. My house was built in the mid 60's

Mine was built in 1912 couldn't fit before I lowered her. Now that she's dropped I just make it. I plan on making the entrance bigger in the future though

Sadly I have a 3 car garage & theres no room! So Ive never tried...

What are the measurements of your garage? Garage door height?

ha , yes of course i did. that is what raised the question... i couldnt believe i coudlnt be able to squeeze it in. its the steps leading into the house that would obstruct. i could get a 17-1/2 foot vehicle in if needed.

anyhow , i saw the 04 yukon today. looked really clean from the outside, white which is what i was looking for. interior had some wear on the wheel , small rip in the typical area on driver seat cushion, the center console flip up covers were a bit of a mess. all in all the leather looked good. needed a good interior detail , possibly a smoker car. so i start it up , no wierd noises from the motor... then my heart sank. "service ride system" came up. also , the front seat moved itself all the way forward until the stop after taking the key out. i didnt hear a compressor starting when i fired her up. any ideas on what could be the ride system ailment in this case? the dealer may be willing to work on it. i told them that this kind of thing would scare away 99% of potential buyers. would the seat thing be a failed memory module or something?

The seat thing you can adjust. Mine did the same thing when I bought it.

 

[mfdrookie516]

The seat thing sounds normal. My Sierra had a feature you could turn on or off that scooted the seat all the way up when you turned it off. That was easy to turn off, I just don't remember how I did it. No idea on the ride control issue.

My Tahoe barely fits in my garage... When it's not full of junk. Can barely fit my sons power wheels in there right now. My house was built in 2005 and has a "2" car garage. They must spec them based on smart cars or golf carts now days.

 

[Vette66]

It would fit if my Corvette was not in there. Outside she stays until I get my side yard gate automated.

Neither of ours fit in the garage.

How small of a garage do you have?

 

[Pachanga02]

Mine fits with room to spare. 4car garage, sadly it doesn't have a roommate yet.

Sadly I have a two car garage, and I have three vehicles to protect. The bimmer gets one slot during the night, and the Tahoe gets it during the day when the bimmer is at work. The second slot is occupied by my 84 Mastercraft ski boat. With the removable swim platform and the removable tongue on the trailer, it clears the garage with about four inches to spare. It is a couple feet longer than the truck, so the truck clears too. The garage is 19' 6". And the boat is 19'0" lol, plus the trailer sticks out a couple inches further than that. I push the trailer in by hand the last foot or so.

Mine fits.. but I built my house in 2007.

Now in next couple years I am building onto the garage. Want another two spaces plus enough room for a lift.

Work shop storage plus reloading station. I have three tool boxs and the work bench from Costco.

The newer one. Fits.

My truck won't fit anymore
