I had a 78 Chev 3/4 ton camper special when I built my house. It had a big rack and toolboxes that sat on the bed rails. I put in an 8 foot garage door so I could park inside.
Bought my first dually and learned fast about ridiculously high trucks... so completely PO'd when I tried putting it in the garage and it wouldn't go. That was a 97.
Bought a 2003 Dually and it sat even higher. Same as my current Dually, 07.
I even looked into getting it lowered to put it back on the ground where it belongs. Won't work, stuff under there gets in the way. Suspension and such.
I've always said you could fly an airplane between the tire and wheelwell.....
Seems my 03 and 07 were both 57" to the top. Stupid...
I used to be able to take a fast stride up onto the tailgate of my 78. If I tried that with my 07 I'd break something, and it wouldn't be the truck!
I don't get it either. Shouldn't need a ladder to climb into the thing.
I need a drop hitch to tow a TT at the proper level.
If I buy a new truck I know I'll be in yet worse shape.
Been parking outside since my 78.
Grumble grumble...
