Will the Ranger Raptor fit on one side of a standard 2 car garage?

You guys are doing it all wrong.

You build a garage for a Ranger, not buy a Ranger for a garage. And make sure you do sliding barn doors for G factor.

Bespoke.

He's going to regret every decision he's ever made as soon as he upgrades to a new Ranger with a wider track.

Not really (this is my garage). My truck has 0+ offset wheels putting me 4" wider than stock. An absolute worst case scenario the decking boards on either side just need to be trimmed back as there is about 2" overhang on them on each side. Catastrophic counter-measures just involve trimming back the decking frame the required amount.

I was just joking because the fit was so good. It really is a nice looking garage.

Thanks. I actually did most of it in wood trying to be a cheapskate and not put concrete down, but I've learned I prefer it.

I also added a bit of visual cheat code to backing in when I was putting it all together. Its on a wireless outlet and I keep the fob to activate them in the truck. The strips are installed under the overhang of the decking and I use the light bouncing off tires as the visual guidance.





Made this for fun a few years back

So you went to the parts store and they asked you which off road light you wanted and you must have said “Give me everything you have”.

At some point please post some pictures of how much light that throws. It must be day light. I bet you can spotlight a deer from two counties over.

That is actually an old setup. I did it for fun for nostalgia throw back reasons, they were all Hella halogens. Plenty of light? Yes, but technology limitations due to being halogen.

Right now I run more modern LEDs, only 6 of them. But yes, I can burn your retinas a mile out.

Wouldn't want to be a deer in the headlights

My 5G fit great in a 2 car garage. The Raptor is about the same length but like 3 inches wider I believe. One thing I noticed is that from mirror to mirror, it's very close in width to the 5G, its just that the fenders flare out more but not wider than the mirrors.

With that said, it should be fine without having to fold in the mirrors. I did not have to fold in my 5G mirrors.

Good, my 5G fits, probably without folding my mirrors (another reason I got a Lariat), but since its just a button away I always fold. Today I got in, not a straight shot, without triggering sensors, has happened about 10 times in 4 years. Not worried about length.

Not worried about length.

Thats what she said

Ok what about a single car garage, will it fit? Width is the issue not depth in my case

I finally found the width measurement including mirrors. 86.7" is what I found for the XLT but it should be the same for the Ranger Raptor. That makes much more sense than the 79.6" width for the Ranger Raptor and 79" width with mirrors they have published by Ford. https://www.autoevolution.com/cars/...d-ranger-us-2023-23l-ecoboost-10at-awd-274-hp

Ford's Body Builders Guide says 86.7" with mirrors out for all versions, and then 79" with mirrors folded.

got to get home from the tavern somehow

Never said I was drinking at the tavern....and it only 1/2 mile from home. I judge my parking by how many beeps the truck sounds. I four years I have made maybe 20-30 "clean" entries

Brought 6g Olaf home last week and left 5g Pepper at the dealership. I tool some pics in the garage, it fits basically the same as the 5g. I think the front end is closer to the front bc I didn't change the parking stops on the floor. They claim the front axle is more forward than the old truck but I don't understand how the front end seems closer. It sure seems higher than my 5g. Looks like an old F150 size!! My wife said "I don't think that thing is going to fit in there"...go ahead, have fun with that one...I almost never fold the mirrors and didn't even know there was a setting to do that automatically...
The middle pic was taken just to show that my old 5g Gator bed cover fits perfectly. Just need to glue the front bed seal back on, I stripped it from my 2019....
