Lifted Trucks and Oversized Configurations

Lifted trucks need special attention. Standard carriers may not accommodate vehicles over 7 feet tall. Tell us about modifications at quote time.

  • Measure total height from ground to the highest point.
  • Disclose lift kit specifications.
  • Note oversized tires (35"+ or 37"+).
  • Mention roof racks or light bars.
  • Provide front-bumper modifications or winch bumpers.

Open vs. Enclosed for Pickup Trucks

Most pickups ship via open carrier transport. It's cost-effective for work trucks, daily drivers, and standard configurations.

Enclosed transport works for:

  • New trucks fresh from the dealership.
  • Premium trim trucks (Raptor, TRX, Limited, Platinum).
  • Custom builds with expensive wraps or paint.
  • Restored classic trucks.
Stock pickups ship just fine on open carriers. Lifted and modified trucks need a few extra details upfront to match the right carrier.

Preparing Your Pickup Truck for Transport

Truck preparation follows standard auto transport steps.

  • Empty the bed completely. Tools, parts, and gear must come out.
  • Remove or secure tonneau covers and bed accessories.
  • Fold or remove ladder racks if possible.
  • Disable toll transponders.
  • Document the truck's condition with timestamped photos.
  • Lower fuel to a quarter tank.
  • Confirm tire pressure is within spec.
