Thanks to all for info. I think i will leave out a few leafs in rear spring for a better ride and maybe it will lower it a bit. All the enclosed trailers i have been looking at are 74 in. rear door opening it will be close. 76 in. would be good.

We had a guy in our neighborhood with an 08 T, and a not so tall garage. The only way he could squeeze it in was to let the air out of the tires. Just another option.

If you are driving it into a ramp rear door the cab height can be a bit taller than the opening, as the axles will be straddling the lip of the opening when the tallest part of the cab goes through. I have kept my '29 ccpu in an enclosed trailer as a garage.

Dave by chance do you know rear door opening size Thanks

Dave in Petaluma · 01-01-2015, 11:37 PM

The trailer is presently at another location, but I will measure the opening when I'm there over the weekend.

Sorry for the long delay. My pickup, which is 75" high at the center rear of the cab, fits easily into the 73" high opening of my enclosed trailer. I don't think I'd want to try driving a sedan into it, though.
