Parking Garage at my new place of work is listed at 6'8". Will the truck fit and will the antenna scrape if I don't replace? 2015 f150 supercrew standard 17 in wheels. Thanks for your input!!!

The antenna will scrape. 6' 8'' will be very very close, if not too short. I consider 7' to be the minimum for my comfort, and the antenna hits.

Also 2015 SCREW, 4x4, stock.

You can find shorty stubby antennas at your local auto parts store ranging from 4 inches and up. I paid $15 for my 5 inch just so I didn't have to worry about any damage to my fenders while taking it through a quick car wash, I've read the stories.......

Shows in chrome but they have it in black..... Hope this helps!

The height of your vehicle is listed @ 76.9 inches, so you have a little to spare, but yes, the antenna will definitely scrape.

I've got a 2015 with 20s and stock tires and park in a 6' 8" garage on the 10th floor. I have about 2 in. clearance. Definitely freaked me out the first few times, now it's a nonissue for me. Freaks out my passengers though.

6 x 12 is 72, plus 8 is 80.

Truck is 75.6 to 77.3 depending on configuration, easily available via Google.

You can cut antenna down, widely posted.

Bring a friend and have them watch from outside to see any issues.

Mine scraped at 6'8". I cut 4 inches off the antenna. No more scrape. Reception is the same.

you'll clear in terms of truck roof, and hit antenna most likely. It's a strange feeling if you're not used to it from driver vantage point it feels like you are going to hit.

id just make sure there aren't cables or bolts sticking down an inch or two lower from the ceiling. Keep a roll of industrial bubble wrap in the bed to wrap it when parked

seriously though had a long bed on my '14, had a potential job lined up downtown...I had to die 3 point turns just to get around the ramps for each level. About 2" clearance above and when I parked...I was an inch off the wall with bumper and was sticking out so far it's only be a matter of time before someone smashed it.

Parking garages suck

The antenna is also a early warning system for possible imminent danger. If you frequent unknown parking garages keep the antenna slightly higher than the roof top.

A buddy of mine found out the hard way with his Superduty.
