2027 Lariat / Tremor - Does it fit in my Garage with 7 FT (84") Threshold ?

2027 Lariat / Tremor - Does it fit in my Garage with 7 FT (84") Threshold / Technically NO, but YES for me. Here's why - My garage threshold height is 82.5" w/ door molding left in place or 84" w/o molding and the highest point on my unladen 2027 Lariat/Tremor is 84" (accurately measured) at the crew cab's GPS/WiFi roof pucks. Maybe others in the future will have a similar situation and my experience may help

Living in Florida under the blazing Sun, torrential Rain, Lightning, Hail and Hurricanes, an F350 Tremor would be a no-go for me if it wouldn't fit "safely" in my home garage. So I searched the internet but found only a couple of owner videos showing ambiguous yes/no fitment videos. I used my own math/methods proving to myself I could get a daily driver Tremor in my garage. Ultimately, it only became possible for me due to my driveway's 6 degree "upslope" approach. Finally, I borrowed a dealer lot 2026 Platinum/Tremor as a test mule which fit driving in forward and also backed in . I went ahead and placed my factory order two days later !!

So now I have a new F350. The truck fits height wise because the upslope driveway lowers the rear axle, which is 4 ft. behind cab, enough to drop the cab pucks down at least 2" to clear the 84" threshold. Once the truck's rear axle enters the garage level floor, the cab having already cleared the threshold, returns to the normal 84" height in the level garage. The actual ride height also meant I had to raise all the inside door hardware above the truck height as well.

Note: The pics appear to show only ~0.5" clearance, but this is because the threshold shown in the pics is actually at 82.5" because I left the 1.5" molding in place which includes a 1.25" soft vinyl wiper so I don't need to remove the molding.

Time to knock that header out and make it an 8’ door
Out of curiosity, is that with the tires at factory 60/ 75 psi?

That header is a 16+ FT span of reinforced concrete and yes, 60/75 psi.

Man, awesome it fits, but that clearance would cause me to pucker every single time

My old 09 F350 would not fit in the garage of our old house in Albuquerque. It suffered for it as it was broken into twice during our 3.5 years living there.

Now you should test how fast you can pull into the garage.
