‘23 Wildtrak is ridiculously tall!

[CarGuy]

I have a beach house and decided to take my ‘23 Wiltrak down today and park it in the garage…heck, my ‘18 f150 Raptor fit with some room to spare. Well, I was wrong. The roof rack pushes the height over the edge. In fact, I’m not sure if it’ll fit with the roof rack off, but will try again in a few weeks. Needless to say, I was shocked it’s taller that the ‘18 f150 Raptor.

It is basically the same height as my 2014 Raptor. The roof rack probably make it to tall for a lot of things.

It is a big box!!

Do you have an exact measurement? I think in 2020, the FORD specs listed Wildtrack at 74 inches tall w/o rack.

I don't know how I would be able to handle not being able to park my Bronco inside the garage at my beach house. Probably would just sell both of them honestly.

Life is rough As you can imagine, parking is a premium during the summer months. I try to squeeze as many family vehicles on the property before hunting for a street spot.

My badlands sasquatch is almost 74" tall and the roof rack adds another 4" = 78"

The car was too tall to fit in some public garages, oops! Rack is now sitting in storage.

LOL!

I don't know how much OP appreciates it but your subtle (and refreshingly not rude) humor really made me laugh. Beach parking can be a real pain! Having your own spot(s) not on the street is pretty valuable.

Try adding a 2.5" lift plus 37" tires and see if that helps.

Yeah my garage clears the top of the Bronco with a few inches to spare, but I just built the garage within the last 6-7 years. I'm sure it's a tight fit on older construction.

I would imagine the roof issue not being an issue within a couple of weeks when summer weather hits.

I carry a ton of supplies down each time and topless may be a problem. Plus, my wife hates the idea of no roof/doors oddly enough, we rarely ever use cars while there. Bars.restaurants are walking distance and I have a 6-person street legal golf cart I use. Yes, I know, I’m roughing it

I feel your pain. We had to construct an entirely different pet door when we acquired our giraffe. It gets along well with the cats and dogs though.

My SAS Badlands is lifted 3 inches, and on 37” tires and fits in the garage. That roof rack must really sit high.
