My garage opening is 84” wide, by 77” tall at the lowest point. Gonna be a nice tight fit.

Could always do some remodeling, will have plenty of time to work on it before the Bronco shows up.

Life is hard. I hate having to fold down the highest part of the platform I built to sit on top of my 7 foot crawler, to clear the 12' door (got the idea from good'Ol'boys and their truck mounted deer stands...)

Or you can be like me and have a opening that’s 75” on the sides and 81” in the center ?

That would be an easy fix to get 81" across the whole door since the header is high enough in the middle, just remove the arched sides.

Bronco is 86.2in wide (7ft 2in) with mirrors extended. So, you should be fine on mirrors. Just need to fine tune your entry and exit.
Probably weird, but with new vehicles im always excited to parallel park em for the first time. The Bronco is kind of wide vs what I've had in the past. Going to take some adjusting but I'm excited for my first time Parallel parking this guy lol

My problem is width, I have a 16' wide door and a 8' wide door. My wife's Expe already owns the 16 footer so guess what I am stuck with. Probably going to have to fold my mirrors in every time I go in and out. I am sure they add 3-4 inches to the body width folded out.
I thought the mirrors were even or inside the width of the stock flares?

Yea don't think the HOA would like that :) Plus all the stucco trim would need to be replaced and restucco it.

FYI. If you have an electric garage door opener with a T-Handle on the end of the disconnect string you may have a negative interaction with roof rack crossbars. The day we decided to park the expedition in the middle of the garage versus off to the side got a little exciting.
You might consider removing that T- handle disconnect. Someone with a wire coat hanger can fish it out in the top of the door and open your garage door. Unless its the only way in to your garage, you do not really need it.

I have been doing this for years with every house I've owned. I also put a zip tie around the latch just for extra protection. I've never lived in bad neighborhoods but might as well be pro active.

Building our house now. Made sure to avoid any garage issues, so we went 32’ deep 27’ wide. With 8’ tall garage doors.
