Depends where I'm going.
Good question but the answer depends on your garage. My home has an oversized 1100 sq ft 4 car garage with high ceilings and sectional garage doors so I have no problems there. At my out of town residence (I spend 3 days a week out of town at an office), I have a "regular" 2 car garage and the GL fits but the crossbars slightly rub the lift-up one piece garage door as it goes in. Also, I can't open the hatch while it's in the garage because it hits the garage door.

Dont' get me wrong, I think the truck is great, but it actually barely fits in my driveway! I would not even try to get it in a garage.

Mine fits ok in the garage. The only problem I have is when in raised level, the hatch hits the garage door when I open it. I usually hits the red button on the hatch to stop it for opening all the way and this works perfectly. There is also a limit setting that you can set to prevent it from opening all the way, but I don't like it. I rather hit the red button on the hatch.

Length 200.3 inches, or 16 feet 8 inches.

What is a 'standard' garage in length?

Yes. It fits ok. Its a little tight, but it works. There is about a 2" clearance when the lift gate is up.

There is a hactch limiter setting which keeps hatch below roof height.
Mine fits fine in std. 2 car garage

My garage is not high enough to have the back open at 100% as the hatch would rest on the threshold of the garage door. The limiter does not allow the hatch to open enough for me as I was bumping my head, etc. My solution is to press the hatch button again when the back is open 95% before it rests on the garage door threshold.
