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.

What was a nice 2 inches clearance in the summer could be a big dent in your roof in January.
i had to reply to that
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 !

How do you fit in a 7' door with that much lift and tire? My stock Eco barely squeaks into my 6'6" door

I would have never thought that would be enough room. I'll take a pic of my Eco when I take it in my 6'6" door. It's really tight
