Height

Hello all, I am thinking up getting a 2007 LTZ or Z71.  I will be upgrading from a Ford Explorer.  The question I have is how tall is the LTZ or Z71 with 20 inch rims including roof rack and all.  I am afraid that it will not fit in the garage.  That is a must for me.  I would hate to get it home and it not fit. Thanks.

I had the same fear before I bought my LTZ, but it fits into my garage without a problem.  My garage has an 80 inch opening.  I dont think the 20 inch wheels affect the ride height due to the lower profile tires, but I could be wrong.  I have been next to Tahoes without the 20 inch wheels and the height seemed to be the same.

I have an 07 LT3 with 22's and its just under 6'6".

Thanks for the quick replies.  I have a 80 inch opening as well.  I should be good to go.  Thanks
 
 

I was worried about the tahoe fitting in my garage (height and width, we have a small 2 car garage) so I asked the dealership if I could take one home to see how it fit.  They let me.

Its a must for me as well.  Mine barely fits (2WD LTZ with 20's).  I only have a 77.5" of clearance (Due to Door being a hurricane door).  My is 2WD so I am sure the 4WD's are a little higher.

Damn I knew mine was tight, but that is cutting it real close for mine.

I saw those same measurements you posted, but I was wanting real life info... you never really know if those heights are accurate. :)

TahoeStud,
   Bare in mind that my clearence takes in to account the 6" or so beams that reinforce my garage door across the entire length off my door.  Most folks here will have a little more clearance than me (Assuming they have the same size opening) because they dont have the hurricane doors with the beams that are required where I live.  You asked a great question - One that I should off before I purchased, but lucked out anyway.  Good luck - I hope you get one, I love mine.

I know what you mean about real life height.  I actually had purchased a 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 Laramie last year.  It was located about 3 hours away and was ready to go pick it up.  My last second thought was would it fit in my garage since my current truck was a dodge ram 1500 and was VERY TIGHT in height clearance.  Turns out that the 2500 was around 5-6 inches higher, I ended up canceling the deal because of this issue.  I will not park a $50,000 vehicle outside!
 
As for the Tahoe, I seem to remember my garage being around 78-79 inches and no problems at all with clearance.

I haven't measured my garage door. But my 07 LTZ (4x4) fits in the garage just fine. It is a little close but not a problem.
 
I also have 24's with 33" inches of wheel+tire overall, which makes it sit an extra 1.5 inches higher than stock.
 
My tahoe is actually taller than my co-worker's 03 1500HD 31" tire combo.

Just checked my stock 4X4 w/ factory 20s and it measured 76" (6' 4") at luggage rack over rear tires.  That was the highest point I could find.

I also had to worry because my driveway is on an incline and the floor is level of course.  As I back in, the rear is really ramped up compared to normal ride height.

Thanks again guys... no it is just a matter of time until I have one.  Thanks again.
