How tall is your King Ranch FX4?

[TexasRealtor]

I'm working a deal online for a KR FX4, and I'm wondering if it will fit in my garage.

Can someone please tell me how tall your truck is?

Does it fit in your garage?

Thank you!

Most everyone's fits in their garage. The problem is the radio antenna. It'll bang on the door as most people are heading in and out of the garage and most people, as I did, replaced with a shorter one from amazon.

Thank you.

My 2 wheel drive 2012 does that too. I'm sure it will be worse with a bit taller truck.

I just measured 78" which makes sense...this is the Ford spec chart. Mine is a Lariat FX4 Short Bed.

My 2021 is about 2 inches higher then my 2019, both Lariat FX4. We recently sold our house to down size (and cash out on the crazy prices) but wanted to keep my truck. We found a place with underground parking that my 2019 had about 5 inches to spare, but the 2021 is getting close......The lowest spot on the sprinkler system is about 2.5 inches...This is how dirty the truck was when it first arrived on the lot, brought it home for a test fit before I got it, was getting worried, but lots of room...

Yep, pretty close there.

Yep, I can vouch. My 2017 was a 4x2 and I kept the default antenna that scraped the garage door and whipped after it cleared. Wasn't a big deal to me.

Now I have a '21 4x4 king ranch (just like yours). I didn't think it would be a big deal but the extra 2 inch height makes it whip WAY harder. I replaced stock antenna with a 13" HD antenna.

Which antenna did you get?

How tall are your garages? I have an 11' ceiling and an 8' tall door, it would take an awful tall truck for even the antenna to hit the door.

I happened to grab this one, thought the carbon fiber looked dope: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08HSHCP1X/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

There are shorter antennas, but I wanted enough copper to still get quality HD if I ever wanna listen to FM on occasion.

Sounds like you're all set!

My garage has what I'd guess is an 8' ceiling, but I have a sectioned garage door that probably rests at about 7' (84" or so) inside the garage. At the garage opening though, the final section is probably 4" lower or so as it starts to round the tracks? Not sure, but that entry section is what really causes the whipping.
