Will a Ford Explorer fit in a garage?
| Garage | Verdict | In front | Beside |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 car garage, minimum 12 x 20 ft, 9 x 7 ft door | Fits, tight 32 in beside | 41 in | 32 in |
| 1 car garage, longer 12 x 24 ft, 9 x 7 ft door | Fits, tight 32 in beside | 89 in | 32 in |
| 2 car garage, minimum 20 x 20 ft, 16 x 7 ft door, two parked | Fits, tight 27 in beside | 41 in | 27 in |
| 2 car garage, ideal 24 x 24 ft, 16 x 7 ft door, two parked | Fits | 89 in | 43 in |
Same rules as the parking fit calculator: the door has to close behind it, and 36 in in front and beside is room to walk. Two-car rows park two of these side by side, spaced evenly. A 3 car garage is as deep as a 2 car one, so the depth verdict carries over; widths are in 3 car garage dimensions.
Car lift for a Ford Explorer
| Ceiling | Lift | Raises it |
|---|---|---|
| 9 ft ceiling 108 in | Only mid-rise scissor, and not to standing height | - |
| 10 ft ceiling 120 in | Only baseplate two-post or mid-rise scissor, and not to standing height | - |
| 11 ft ceiling 132 in | Baseplate two-post | 55 in |
| 12 ft ceiling 144 in | Overhead two-post | 67 in |
At 70.2 in tall, a Ford Explorer needs 48 in of rise plus 6 in over the roof to stand under it, so 11 ft is the lowest ceiling here that works. More on car lifts for SUVs, or ceiling height by lift model.
