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!
Bring your own tape measure to the dealership and measure one of the new trucks. Then go to your parking garage at work and measure what the actual height clearance is. Sure might look a little silly to anyone who sees it, but you'll get accurate information.
