That's how much you'll need to fit the truck in a garage. That's approximately how long the truck is.

I thought you were referring to bed length. That's what I get for posting before bed after a 65hr work week.

How tall is your truck?

Yeah what do you think ??? I would say 10' is good. Wouldn't want to lift it then have it not fit!

well the car port would have 10f legs then the roof would be a couple of feet so i think it would be good and to get the car port it is $895
