Parking garage clearance
Hey guys, I am the new proud owner of a 2013 F-150 XLT 4x4. One thing I am a little concerned about is the height of the parking garage where I work. Based on the listed height of the truck and the height of the parking garage, I will only have about an inch and half of clearance. In your all's experience, do you think this is cutting it too close and I should try to find somewhere else to park, or should I be alright as long as I go slow? There are a lot of crossbeams, and I am just kind of paranoid that one could be a little lower than the others.

drive slow and watch out for speedbumps. If you hit a bump too hard/fast it can cause the truck to jump and put a big scratch on the roof.
and for the antenna - if it does rub, it will look bad after a few years. At my old house the antenna bumped the garage door on the way in... after a couple years all the paint was rubbed off and it was shiny at top. So I replaced it with a shorter antenna

I use the antenna as a feeler gauge. If it hits then I know there's only an inch or two of clearance. It it looks really close I'll open the sunroof and check it out. The things to really watch for are sprinkler heads, pipes etc that hang down. The only thing to watch is when the elevation changes. This will put the center of your cab higher than normal. This almost got me in one garage. I caught it in time and backed up before it made contact.
