Height w/ canopy
Post by teking on Jun 28, 2006, 1:07pm

Operations manual says truck height is 95" but that is without the canopy. How high with canopy?

I'm trying to determine what size (LxWxH) car awning (canopy) to purchase to park the truck under when the bed canopy is mounted.

that sounds a little high w/out. That's just shy of 8'!! My 725 was 8' something to the roof.

Top of soft cab top rear, SOA and 38-39" tires is approximately 86", so the manual must take the cargo cap into account.

thanks guys ... so what size canopy would you get 12x20 or 12x 30?

I'm thinkin' that from winch to tailgate I'd need 12x26 ..........

Do you have a Costco in your neck of the woods? You can get a 10x20 canopy with walls and ends for $170. And one end is even zippered on the current models.

It seems a tad short for my wo/wn truck, but heck....you could get two and have a 40" canopy for the same price as the 12x20 you posted!

Hmmmmm ... what guage steel and is it UV protected. With hurricanes and the hot azz sun down here in FL we need a pretty heavy duty model. I'll definitely check it out at Costco at lunch!!!

According to the manual, without the winch, the trucks are 209.75 inches or 17.5 feet overall length...seems I measured mine once and got 18.5 feet....if you are fortunate enough to have the winch, overall length is listed as 220.75 inches or 18.4 feet...might add 1 foot to that...
