    Anyone know how tall this truck is? Freightliner M2 106, 26' long, 103" box height. All I can find is the box height but what I need is the height of the truck for bridge clearance. Odd how hard this has been trying to find this number.

    There's a phone number in the listing. Seems like making a call could answer all of your questions.

    As mentioned, call the dealer, ask them to send you a picture of the height warning sticker on the front of the box.

    Box is 103 high, 295 tires are 40 inches, add a 3 inch gap between tire and frame plus a little "cowboy arithmetic" - 12.5 feet on the low side, 13 feet on the high side.
     
    Labrador Thanks this.

    The sticker on the box for the truck in the picture says Truck Height 13'0"

    Save the picture to your computer then open it and zoom in.
