Expedition height

Hi, i tried to use search but it's not avail.

I am relocating and I am looking at various condo parking garages and the various heights so what is the minimum height for my 2003 Expedition EB ?

I know FORD says 6' 6" or so but what are the experiences? And does the 6'6" include the roof rack?

If the 6'6" is correct that would include the roof racks.

6'6" or 78" is about right. I think it's actually 77.6" (assuming stock vehicle and no wild changes to your tire size). I've gone into some parking garages listing a clearance of 6'6" (I think there must be some tolerance to that number too) without any issue. Just kinda trippy driving around in those places and look through the sunroof!

Can I just mention my pet peeve about those hanging bars in parking garages that claim to be 6'6 but are really lower...I hate the banging sound when the front bar of my rack smashes into the hanging thing.

Well, I guess the tolerances for the bar can go both ways. So far I've been lucky then.

a real 6'6'' clearance is makeable for me....but sometimes I think they must have chimps putting up those bars.....
