Precise length

Just wondering if the lengths you see for the Superduty online is a precise length (i.e. includes tow hooks, trailer hitch receiver, etc) or more of a bumper to bumper size but there are a few things "sticking out past there".

In other words, in a theoretical scenario...if you had to place the CCLB SRW truck in a box, for a VERY snug fit, the interior dimension of the box would be 266.2 x 105.9.

Obviously, talking about factory stock.

Also, a related question... I can not seem to find what the width would be with mirrors folded (power folding mirrors)

I would suggest going to a dealer on a sunday, taking a 4' level and tape measure and taking measurements for yourself to confirm. I had to do the exact thing because according to Ford's site I would have 3" total length to spare in my garage...

FYI the front plate frame and tow hooks are darn near the same forward stickout. Hitch is the longest item on the back. I was measuring a crew cab short bed, but got the following measurements: 251" long, and 83" wide with folded mirrors. (You could probably add online differential length between short and long bed and get close to your requested length)

I wouldn't trust the brochure or website for actual figures. If you need it precise, best to measure it yourself.

My CCLB is 22' 3.5". The extremities are the rear receiver and the front license plate, which is roughly 3/4" past the tow hooks.
