Our garage is 220" (if the bump out wasn't there it would be 238"). Good to know about the turbo engines. We will spend a fair amount of time at altitude so it sounds like a turbo engine will be a wise investment.
I never, ever thought about the bump out when we bought the place. Our options are limited to a) buying the half ton we want (one with at least a crew cab) but walking several blocks to park it and that isn't a great option in February, b) finding a half ton that will fit, so no crew or extended cab, c) buying a mid-sized truck, but I don't think it will have the heft we need in the mountains, or d) just use the Jeep for towing, but DH really wants a truck.
I could strangle the builders but that's another story.....
