Auto Train with vehicle longer than extended ticket

[Smagee90.]

Has anyone put a 3/4 ton truck on the auto train. Truck is approximately 250 inches long and 81 inches wide without mirrors. Height is not a concern. Looking at going in February 2025.

The maximum for “extended” (216”), seems pretty restrictive to me. During the early Auto Train decades, many large cars far exceeded that. My ‘76 Lincoln Town Car was 234” long, and in no way, a “limousine”.
