Welcome to FTE!
Short bed or long bed?
With a rear bumper or without?
They didn't usually come with a rear bumper from the factory, by the way.

That comment was made to the other poster. The way I read it he offered to help.
I am not sure the exact lenght but if a standard cab long bed pickup wont fit in your garage I would be pissed at the builder. It will be within 6 inches one way to the other of 17 feet so like you were told earlier no, in other words you won't be able to walk around it, if you can close the door.

Talk about bright if you would of read the first post and had an inteligent answer you would have had an answer. Instead you wanted to comment that nobody wanted to tell you how long YOUR pickup is when you apparently don't know a long bed from a short bed, so exactly what did you expect anybody to tell you.
