Easy question. I am looking at a 09 crewcab 4x4. I have 20ft 3inches available from the back of garage to my door sensors. Will it fit?

Barely, within about a foot.

I have a '12 CC sport. Fits with about 2" left at both the front and rear, in my 19'6" garage.

I have a 7' door, and it fits fine.

I back in so I can use the camera to get it parked right.

It looks like it will probably fit, but it is probably going to be a tight squeeze.
According to Edmunds data that truck is 19ft long.
If it has a class IV hitch and a ball, that is going to add a few inches.

1' sounds like a lot, but you figure 6" in the front and 6" in the back if the truck is parked perfectly straight. Not a lot of room for error.

I have about the same clearance in my garage and our 2012 Quadcab w/6'4" bed and hitch is a very tight squeeze. (Our truck specs about 1" longer than yours + the ball hitch adds a little)

I recommend having the backup camera. I back ours into the garage and it helps - a lot.

I have a 80 inch height on the garage. It should fit in there nicely

I've got to pull all the way to the wall to fit my 11 crew in the garage. I'd have to go measure to see what the dimension is. I can not leave my hitch in the receiver or it will block the door. I had to put a board on the drywall to keep my tow hooks from beating it up too bad.

It has your standard hitch. So its removable. And i figured i.might have to protect the wall somehow

I had to take the bottom bracket off my garage door, or it would hit my front bumper. I literally have 2" to spare to fit my truck in the garage. I have dirt colored ram stamps on my drywall from the hitch cover.

When I bought my truck, I made the salesman let me take it home to confirm it would fit in my garage.

I didn't want to spend nearly $40k and have an "oops" moment when I got home.

You can do the same with your salesman. It's just called an 'extended test drive' and he just had to fill out a form documenting the mileage.

^ Good idea.
I had to tear out the landing w/steps to the house inside the garage, and replace it with 2 simple steps but its worth it for the security and environmental protection.
There are laser pointers, parking traffic lights, tennis ball hanging from the ceiling or just lining up your mirror(s) with something on the wall to get it in just right. Lots of options.
