[quote] always use ParkWiz and it shows the clearance of most garages.
I usually have to park in the outside lots when going to New Orleans.

That 80" clearance was probably measured when the place was built. Are you comfortable believing the re-measured everything recently? If new plumbing, lights or speedbumps were ever installed...

Mu nephew peeled a van trailer under an underpass that he should have cleared -- if it wasn't for the length of the trailer and the 4" asphalt top coat after the clearance sign was originally posted.

Does that 78.6" figure include the satellite radio antenna? I slowly hit the rubber clearance marker on a parking garage in San Antonio once and just avoid garages in my F250 these days.

Better hope concrete tolerances were tight when they built.

1/4" tolerance is normal. Don't go past the 6th floor.

You need to be careful with as tight of a clearance as you described. I watched a truck get under the barrier signs posted and then as he entered the garage, his truck took out every light fixture where he went. Sometimes those entry barriers aren’t so accurate.

I've always risked it.

Haven't lost yet. But none of mine trucks were seriously high. I used to park in a parking garage in houston with my 2011 tacoma trd offroad. With a kayak on the roof. First time was butt hole clenching. The barrier moved when I drove in. Scraped it. Didn't hit a thing. Probably did it 200 times after. Kayak lived on the roof or water.

Years ago I saw 2 guys getting into Harrahs Parking garage by lifting up the barrier that was hanging down showing the maximum height.

I want to thank you for posting this... Because I just realized my truck is 80 inches high.
