We just bought a FW its 12'. You need to follow truckers routes. I was nervous about driving coming up from a TT, so I bought the Rand McNally Truckers Map. REGULAR GPS WILL NOT HAVE LOW BRIDGE OR LOW CLEARANCES. Almost weekly there is news of a truck on a parkway or stuck under a bridge here. Lots of low things to hit.
We just returned from buying it and our route was I80 to the George Washington Bridge to Cross Bronx to Throgsneck Bridge to Clearview Expressway to Long Island Expressway.
In the future I will be getting an RV or Truckers GPS.
Most of those "RV" or "Truckers" GPS units only have about 1500 low clearance points. Route 1 has > 8,000 for N. America.
