Quick Question - 2018 Height Issue
I've ordered a new 2018 F150 and just saw one arrive at the local dealership and have a slight worry about the height clearance. My parking garage has a height clearance of 6'8 and based on the options I've picked (2018 4x4 Supercrew w/ max tow package and FX4 off road package) the Ford specs state the height to be ~6'4 (77.2 inches).
I've test driven a 2017 Lariat 4x4 Supercrew in the parking garage and it did in fact seem to have 4-5 inches of spare room so I assumed I was fine but I noticed the new 2018's have a new antenna (I'm assuming for the Wifi hotspot feature). It seems to be a few inches higher than the old one.
Does anyone know how much this new 2018 antenna affects the overall height of the vehicle? It's hard to tell because the antenna seems to be attached where the roof begins to curve forward so I'm not sure if the antenna is actually no higher than the overall roof of the vehicle or not.
Any help is appreciated as the parking garage clearance would be a show stopper for my order, and I'm already in love with the vehicle on order!
Thanks again!
