Please don't hold me to this, but I think it's around 128", bumper to bumper. The thing I definately know is that it doesn't fit in my garage.

PS don't forget height! Mine didn't fit there either.

128" is only 10 feet 8 inches. My daughter's Acclaim is longer than that. If the box is 6'6", then the QC is only 4 feet 2 inches long. Sounds like Tom lost the first few feet of his tape.

I understand the reason for your question. The DC specs are vague in answering this. I went out and used my guaranteed +/- 1" accurate tape. I measured 220". I have standard bumpers. The reason I bought the SB is that it DOES fit in my garage (if I remember to take the camper off). Also the 2WD fits under a normal garage door with several inches clearance.

Unless you install a leveling kit in the front, and run 285/75's. I told the wife she could have the garage, cause I'm getting ready to try 315/70's .With the 285's, I can just make it. If I sneeze while pulling in, the 'bounce' will cause me to hit the door.

Yes, the SB with QuadCab is the same (or nearly same) length as the longbed regular cab truck. However, the wheelbase is not the same, but within an inch of each other. Sounds silly but the two trucks have different ladder frames so there's no real reason to have exactly the same wheelbase.
