truck height

I'm going to order a 2023 crew f250 and am trying to figure out if it will fit in my garage. I have 82.5 inches of clearance. Is the platinum with 20 inch wheels taller then the lariat with 18 inch wheels?
Thanks,

Ford says the height of the 4x4 Crew Cab is 81.5". The question is, what trim level, options (like satellite radio with the antenna bump) and what tire/wheel combo are they using for that measurement? If it's a base XL with 245x75x17's (31.5") then both the Lariat and Platinum will be a bit taller than 81.5.

Since you only have, at best, an inch to play with things could get really tight and might come down to how much air you have in the tires!
