Hello,
I am looking into taking the Amtrak Auto Train from DC to FL in November. When I am looking at the size requirements for oversized vehicles, I am within spec except according to the manufacturer's vehicle specs, I am exceeding the width by 1.5 inches. My car is at 85.5" wide, and the Amtrak site says 84" width max. I have a hummer h3, which is a pretty standard size SUV as its narrower and shorter than most pickup trucks and vans.
Has anyone been able to get on the Auto Train with this vehicle? Also is anyone aware of what the measurements are going by? For instance, perhaps if I fold my mirrors in I will be within spec, but does anyone know for sure about these?
Thanks a lot!
Josh
