Lifted truck in public parking garage
Posted on 2/1/24 at 5:24 am

The hotel I’ll be staying at has a multi-level garage with a 6’8” (80”) clearance. My truck measures at 78.6”. Obviously it’ll fit under the clearance bar but should I be concerned about going up the ramp to the higher levels?

A few years back went to the Saints vs Lions game at the Superdome. Pouring rain as me and FIL looked for parking.
Drove by a parking garage close to the Dome and someone had their F250 stuck under about a 2' wide strip of concrete as they entered the garage.

love the clearance bars that have half inch of bolts sticking down out the bottom of the cross poles.

That is tight. Need to be sure some idiot didn't put the garage speed bump under the lowest cross beams. I would personally find an above ground lot.

I 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.

Reminds me of my time at John’s Hopkins. My Duramax 2500 cleared the parking garage by inches.
I just crept really slowly, so bumps wouldn’t cause me to kiss it. Nerve wracking.

Those are made to be the lowest height that you would encounter, so you should be fine.
But I wouldn't personally do it, that's too close.

just use your own truck and not your 19yo flatbill wearing son's lifted pussy magnet?

You gonna trust that engineering for 1.5" clearance?
Park outside.

valet it, tell them, and make them figure it out

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...
And how accurate is your 78.6" truck measurement?

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.
