Ime close to making my decision on which truck to buy, but am stuck on one last thing.
what is the actual length of a 2020\2021 1500 Limited? My garage is 233” from the back wall to the front lip of the garage leaving about 1.5” buffer space. Id probably be safe in saying this is a standard length of a garage right?

Ive found lengths from 232.9“ to 241.8″ through Google for the Limited 1500.
 
That's short for a garage. I think my garage is between 21-22 feet, and my truck fits without issue.
 
I park mine in my garage. I actually put a microfiber towel on the wall to touch my back bumper to and have about 1-2" of clearance from the garage door to the front bumper.

I do
 
My 2019 Laramie crew cab with 5.7 bed fits in my garage without issues alongside of a xc90 but i use a hanging tennis ball as my stop indicator, when the ball touches the windshield i stop with room to walk around front or back
 
My 2020 Laramie quad cab w/5.7 bed fits if i don’t have anything in the trailer hitch with about 2 inches in the front and rear to spare.

just to be safe I did remove one of the inner garage door handles.
 
I park both my Jeep and my 2020 Rebel crew cab DT in my garage everyday, summer or winter, I have plenty of room, the garage is 30’X30’ with a woodworking shop of 20’X24’ attached to it.
The Laramie crew cab is 241.8” long or 20’ 13/16” long.
I found this online to help you.

With the increasing number of car burglaries it was important to me to be able to park it in the garage.
 
My 2020 Rebel is not fitting unless I am right to the back wall. I have stuff back there that will have to be moved/removed before the snow flies...otherwise it is driveway. I used to park my 2015 Sliverado Crew Cab in there so I am thinking the Rebel will fit with adjustments. I have an average suburban garage.
 
The Limited comes only in a crew cab configuration, but you can choose from two bed lengths. Which one are you looking for?
There's not really such a thing as a standard sized garage. Measure your garage, then measure whatever truck you want to buy. I didn't have to worry because my garage is 40 feet deep LOL.
 
5.7 bed Limited here, I park mine inside and can even get past the front or back with the garage door closed. Park it next to the Redeye and riding mower
 
I tuck my Limited away every night inside my garage. I have 4' 8" behind the rear bumper to the wall and 10 inches to the garage door in front. I use a tire chock on the floor so I knew exactly where to stop without looking, since I back my Limited in every night.
 
There is no good reason mine isn't in the garage at the moment since my convertible is at the body shop. I need to adjust the garage door opener, however, to park it in there. The door will open enough but isn't set to at the moment. My garage is 24 feet deep so that is not an issue but width would be tight with the convertible. My garage is 20 feet wide but stairs take away about 3 feet so even though my convertible is not big, I am reluctant to try and routinely have both in the garage. So the truck sits outside.

Well crap, if thats accurate then it definitely wont fit. Most other sites I've found say 232.9” though.
 
Quad Cab (6' 4" bed) 228.9"
Crew Cab (5' 7" bed) 232.9"
Crew Cab (6' 4" bed) 241.8"

I park mine in the garage (barely). Was originally looking at a short bed Crew. Took it home to try it and it wouldn't fit. Quad cab just made it. That 4" made all the difference.

Yes, but I added 7’ to a short garage, so I’m at 25-26’ in length.
 
Colorado sun and hail makes a garage a requirement IMO. My Garage isn’t as long as I would like but the Ram fits fine. In a pinch I got four vehicles in the 3 car garage with a pending hail storm. Otherwise make sure your insurance is good.
 
Yeah being able to fit in my garage is a pretty big factor in which truck I’m gonna get. It looks like the F150 Limited is 231.7”... so gives me an inch buffer lol
