If an automated bay can fit a dually, it'll fit a G2.
Most in my area are no-track and brushless where you drive in the bay and stop. The machine moves back and forth around a stationery vehicle. Problem is, if it won't fit a dually (not many do) the machine won't correctly read your truck size and most of the time the cycle won't start.

Car wash thoughts
Holy sh*t I can't imagine sending my $67k vehicle through a car wash.....nevermind the machinery, how about the clowns drying it with the cheapest terry cloth towels (swirl marks) that have been dropped on the ground (worse swirls and scratches)??? No way....

Find your nearest bikini carwash... I promise you my friend your sorrows will be gone quickly.
My Raptor generally is parked outside b/c I have 4.5 car garages and 6 cars currently (upstairs garage fits 3 small cars or the truck and 1 car and basement garage fits 1 car or up to 3 cars depending on how many million point turns I want to do). It goes to my local $4 carwash whenever I am close and fortunately have not had any issue. I did put a stubby antenna on, however. The only cars that don't go through this car wash is my Ferrari 360 b/c why, I guess it's a Ferrari so hand wash only,, and my Porsche 911 turbo b/c the 315mm rear tires physically don't fit in the rollers. I try to hand wash as much as possible, but with 6 cars and more importantly, a 2 year old, the times not there. Some auto car washes are shit, but some are ok even for giant Raptors.

I have a 2015 Nissan GTR and 2017 Lexus LX 570 that I run through the same wash. There are no clowns with hand towels, and the wash has always been good.

Agreed! My local wash does a terrific job with both my previous Gen 1's and the new '17. Huge blessing because I simply don't have the time to do the quality job my OCD brain would require with a couple of buckets of water and various sponges and brushes and microfiber drying towels....

Who cares about this? What's happened to the forum where we have to read about some moron complain because he can't stuff his street queen into a car wash?

We do obviously, its just a light hearted conversation about nothing important. So what do you do North of the border?
