So some really old buildings had 1.8m height bars so pretty much a no go for all 3 of those cars or even a standard hi rider ute or 4x4 with no roof racks. The place i most frequently parked (for free too, its who you know not what you know) was 2.1m. I could get the van in with a ladder on the roof fine, same with the triton, the ranger i could just scrape in with ladders double stacked on the roof.

Thats another thing that is annoying me, Ford having since deleted the low rider single cab chassis for the new generation.
Loading a 55 kg self-propelled mower via ramps is hard enough on my current Ranger. Now that they are all high riders, that is something I'm going to have to consider carefully.
