Anyone have a link to the official RAM dimensions of the total length with the tailgate down?

I have a 2023 Ram 1500 4x4 Crew Cab with 6'4" box

From the VIN decoder, I get the following information:

Overall Length = 241.8"
Cargo Box Height = 21.5"

For the total length with the tailgate down, I could just add the two together 241.8" + 21.5" = 263.3" but that doesn't account for the length of the bumper and the hinge point of the tailgate, so it's gonna be less than 263.3". I could subtract the bumper length from 241.8" and drop the tailgate and add the length of the tailgate exposed from the rear body, and get something pretty close to the official number.

Why am I asking? Trying to figure out the minimum garage size I'm gonna need with the garage door down and still be able to open the tailgate and get stuff out of the bed.

The bumper has nothing to do with the tailgate down length. I would got to a dealer lot with a tape measure in hand.
 
2 Levels, one at the front bumper, one at the lowered tailgate, measure between the 2.. best way to do it

Not sure where you are, but here in MD have to get a custom garage to get a full size crew cab of any manufacturer to fit.
