Parking Garages and your 2013 F150

Canuck with a truck
I won't drive my truck in any parking garages if i don't have to, i'm always paranoid about scrapping the roof. Also there's never enough room for the trucks wide turning circle and width.

I was in one the other night that was 6'6 clearance and I was nervous as hell the whole time, I had about 2" at one of the ramps, I was afraid I was gonna have to let some air out of the tires

Parking garages near me are usually 6' 9" or taller but I had to negotiate a 6' 6" garage in Chicago once. Made my passenger pop though the window and take a look at 2 different beams in the garage. I skated through with less than 1" of clearance.
Also guilty.

Another thing to keep in mind--if you live in colder climes--is build-up of ice and snow on outside parking lots and ramps. The large shopping mall near my home has a number of exterior lots with ramps and clearance limiters... but even though the lots are plowed during the winter, you really do not know how much the clearance has changed due to build-up.
What was a nice 2 inches clearance in the summer could be a big dent in your roof in January.

just happened to me last night (same mall i'm guessing)... 6'6" clearance on a flat spot, no problem... then i started crawling up the steep ramp with a couple inches of snow on it and i could see the steel beam coming awfully close to my moonroof...
i said f*** it and backed up. There were 2 unhappy people behind me, i dont care !!
my 4x4 is 6'3" according to Ford website, which means no parking there for me anymore !
