Hotel guests in Las Vegas managed to awkwardly get a Ford F-150 stuck in a parking garage with a 6’10” clearance.

The huge pickup ended up in a sticky situation after measurements of the truck and the height of the actual garage – very clearly – didn’t line up.

But, luckily, the owners had a plan.

That plan ultimately led to a specific outcome.

The Ford F-150 is a huge truck

Ford’s flagship powerhouse is revered by gearheads worldwide.

In fact, some have even put it through its paces in some extreme tests.

For example, one man from Utah towed 10,000 pounds with an electric Ford F-150 Lightning to see how it coped when it was maxed out.

Plus, an unlikely Ford F-150 XL beat the odds and pulled off a David vs Goliath drag race victory against a powerful Shelby Mustang GT500.

But, this test was like no other and really took things to the extreme.

It was the Ford F-150 vs the parking garage ceiling

In an unusual turn of events, a Ford F-150 appeared to have a disagreement with the ceiling of a parking garage in Vegas.

TikToker @faststeph documented the whole debacle as it went down

“Just a word of advice if you’re staying in a Vegas hotel, don’t bring a big ass truck,” she said.

“I have no idea how we’re gonna get out of here.”

The truck was truly stuck, and ironically, it was next to a ‘garage exit’ sign.

But, as luck would have it, the TikToker had a plan.

They tinkered with the tires and managed to fill the bed of the truck full of people – and miraculously, they managed to get out.

But the whole turn of events caused a bit of a stir online.

“How did you get it in there to begin with is my question?” commented one user.

“This is why I valet my truck every time, and they always park it right in front without even having to ask. Small price to pay for the peace of mind,”

“She has no idea how they are going to get out. We have no idea how she got in,” joked another.

Yes, we know oversized parking exists. But it was midnight. The sign said 6’10”. We are 6’10”. The math should’ve math’d. Spoiler: it did not. Huge thanks to the random Vegas crew who hopped in the bed and saved us 😅🙌 #trucklife #vegasadventures #momlifeontheroad #parkingfail #oversizedvehicle #familytravel #travelchaos #carpeople #thankyousomuch #vegas #carhumor @Ford
