Overhead Clearance Height for an 8-ft U-Haul Pickup Truck

The clearance height of an 8-foot-long U-Haul pickup truck is 7 feet, 2 inches.

If you’re unsure whether you can clear an overhang, don’t guess! Exit the vehicle to gauge whether your truck can make it through. If you are traveling with others, have a passenger stand off to the side to guide you.

Watch out for apartment complex awnings, parking structures, motel overhangs, roof eaves, porch awnings, balconies, drive-thru entrances, service station canopies, bridges, electrical wires, and tree limbs. Please be aware that many overhead obstructions do not have clearance heights posted.
