Does anyone know the height / clearance for a factory stock 1500 Laramie, 5.7, Quad Cab?, with 5'7" bed? Or where to look?
We're looking into a local covered bridges tour, thought I would look into this before making any plans.

EDIT: 20" wheels, 4wd, 2014

Most automatic car washes have 7ft height limit so as long as you haven't lifted it you're well under that. Practically about 6ft9in would start to be sketchy with the shark fin antenna which is the tallest point

This link has the height listed at 6' 5" - ~6' 6"

I have a 2016 Sport that won't clear the 6' 6" clearance in the parking garage at work. Measured to the top of the shark fin I get around 6' 8". I agree with it being a bit sketchy with anything under 6' 9" and even then I'd be REAL slow about it until I knew I could clear something.

IF you have the stock antenna, I think you will find that it is the highest thing on the truck. I have been in some low garages with my 2017 Big Horn where the antenna just touches the cross beams in the ceiling, but the roof and shark fin clears OK.

Go into the low bridges slowly, if the antenna clears (you hear it scrape if it touches anything), you should be OK.

As you can see, my sign rack is higher than the Radio Antenna
with the sign removed, it is much lower, almost even with the AM/FM Antenna
