I've called metro and they weren't much help. I'm trying to figure out if my truck will fit in their parking garage at the Wiehle-Reston Silver Line station.

I have a Silverado 3500 with a crew cab and 8' bed. I'm also concerned about the height, I know some garages have low clearance. If anyone here is familiar with the garage I'd appreciate any suggestions.

I know the other side of the Dulles Access road has a paid parking off of Centennial Park Dr. but I can't find any details on how much that is and if we're ALLOWED to park there.

Boy if I had a penny for every time I had that question! I own a Ford F250 Super Cab with an 8 foot bed myself ... and I've always been afraid to take it anywhere where I think parking might be an issue. Last time I parked at the Wiehle-Reston Metro station, I swapped cars with my wife (Ford Fiesta which can fit in the bed of my truck). :-(

I did notice a lifted HD2500 parked with plenty of room to spare, but he wasn't a longbed. And I'm not sure, but just because you have clearance for the first floor doesn't mean that you won't lose a foot (or more) as you go to other parking levels (sorry, you probably already know this).

Ping back if you ever find out.

Thanks! I hunted down photos of the garage and it looks like the main level at least is 7'2" so, I should fit at least on that floor. I will be keeping an eye on those overhead clearance bars and we'll see regarding the turns and spaces. They make compact car spaces, they should definitely make truck spaces

Fingers crossed and I'll let you know how it goes!
