Ok, I am curious to see who has the more narrow garage door width for a single bay door. No cheating by taking a two-car garage door and halving the value. I just measured mine (pair of single-bay doors) and the opening is 7’8″ wide. Is it me, or does someone have an even more pathetic garage bay for their automobile?
BTW, I can’t even get my Toyota Tundra into the garage without folding the mirrors inward and driving very, very carefully.

I'll check, but I think mine are pretty close to yours.
Of course, horses were a bit narrower back in 1900 when mine was built...
Is it an older home? The old model A's weren't very wide, thus narrower doors.
Mine's 8-0 nominal, with junky side-hinged doors on a pair each of gate hinges. Inside walls are 9'-10" and 9'-11 5/8" apart, so there's no opening the doors of any vehicle that would fit thorugh the 6-8 (minus 4" of upslope on the floor slab) tall opening.
That being said, I've seen 6-0 rollup doors on the McMansions around here, mostly on uh-oh garage bumpouts the plan drafters couldn't quite "design" away. Handy for the garden tractor or golf cart, though (except there's never an outlet for the charger for the g/c; or you have to climb over either the front or back of the g/t to dismount).
