Question:
How far does this extend, say, from the hitch pin hole to the back edge of the step when fully extended? I own a 2018 Dodge 3500 dually and need to know if the step will be usable when the tailgate is down. Thanks,

From the center of the hitch pin hole to the furthest edge of the HitchMate TruckStep # HE4045 is about 20-1/2". If you need more room than that we have the XL version as part # HE4037 which measures 29-1/2" from the center of the hitch pin hole.
I have attached some diagrams that you can reference as well as some review videos.
