“Was the truck put together right there in the garage?”
Big trucks solve big problems — unless the truck is the problem. That’s what happened when TikToker Stephanie (@faststeph) found her Ford F-150 wedged in a Las Vegas hotel parking garage with a 6’10” clearance.
In her viral video, which has racked up over 732,000 views, Stephanie explains that while trying to exit the garage, her truck hit the overhead beam and couldn’t pass through. Despite the clearance sign reading 6’10” — the same height as her truck — it didn’t quite add up.
Desperate to escape, she first deflated the tires. When that didn’t work, she and her crew recruited eight helpful strangers to sit in the bed of the truck to weigh it down — and that actually worked. The truck finally cleared the beam, and the crowd cheered.
So how did it get in to begin with? Stephanie says the garage had a different, slightly taller entry point, but the hotel’s traffic pattern made exiting the same way impossible. The valet confirmed it should have fit, and even Stephanie measured the truck at just under 6’10”.
Online commenters chimed in with jokes: “Was the truck assembled in the garage?” and “Can’t read a clearance sign?” While many blamed the driver, Stephanie insists the sign may have been wrong, as the beam showed clear signs of past scrapes — possibly caused by aging concrete sagging over time.
In the end, Stephanie and her F-150 got out — but not without a lesson in math, teamwork, and the unforgiving nature of Las Vegas parking garages.
