Default Overall height

Has anyone measured, I need to find parking in the city so I'll be limited to a parking garage. Truck is a stock 2013 platinum 4x4. Obviously I'm looking for the roof height. Thanks in advance

A stock truck should be about 6' 3". My 2011 4x4 had a 2" leveling kit and 34.5" tires and the roof height was just under 6' 6".

What prevents you from measuring your truck height ?

The height spec on my 2014 screw is 76.5”.The company I work for has a garage under the building with a height limit of 77.0”.My truck just makes it.The antenna hits a couple of the supports but the cab itself has a couple of inches of clearance.

Your owners manual has dimensions, but here's my real world experience.

I have a 2013 XLT 4x4 offroad package and I think the manual lists the height as 76.5 (too lazy to find the manual). When I see a clearance sign lower than 6' 8" I look elsewhere. I've hit my roof on a clearance bar at 6.8 and on low hanging pipes in another garage that listed 6.8 clearance. When you navigate the ramps and turn, the tilting of your truck can actually raise the roof higher. Couple of scuffs but nothing through the paint yet.

I stay put of parkades with heights lower than 7 ft. The height will change a bit as you go up and down ramps and speed bumps.
I also hate those stupid bars that hang down showing the max height. They will scratch your roof and many of them are not showing correct height. It's just not worth it.

My 13' platinum is stock height. Underground garage has a posted minimum height of 6'4". There were a bunch of f150's parked in there before I drove in. I was nervous but have no clearance problems. I wouldn't want to be any taller but the posted height is accurate at 6'3" I believe

I don't now what year model(s) that is for but my truck is not taller then I am
I can't easily see over the roof
Did they really raise the height on later year models that much ?
Or is that to the tip of the antenna ?

Either they increased the height on the 12th gens. or you wear Herman Munster shoes.
