Width of my new truck with tow mirrors?

Got a Tradesman 2022 Ram 2500, 4x4, Crew Cab with the 6.4 on order. Can't find any specs that tell me how wide the truck is mirror to mirror. I got the towing technology package, so I think they are power folding. Would really like to find out what is the width with and/or without mirrors folded in.

I want to determine if it will fit into my garage door which is 8' wide. Anyone got that measurement?
 
I believe it's 103" with them out. It should be the same for all the 4th-4.5 gen trucks and 103" is the number I keep seeing.

.
 
I don't have the number, but I have to fold them in to get into my 9ft wide door. You may be able to squeeze into an 8ft door if you don't have any trim around the door, but it will be very close.
 
I have to be careful pulling in to my 10' wide door with them in the regular position. So I would think 8 will be tight even with them folded all the way in.
 
Thanks for the info. I meant to say 9' wide, the height of the garage door is 8'. Good to know I can get in with them folded.
 
Anyone know? I'm trying to ship our truck enclosed and they're asking for dimensions. 103" with mirrors out, fine -- but what about with mirrors folded in (we're a 3500 SRW 6.4 limited, so they are power folding tow mirrors). Otherwise will have to go to a lot as backup option, FCA's site doesn't have the information.

The 103 is the mirrors out in the towing position. My plow is 7’6” (90”) with the mirrors folded in my plow is wider than the mirrors

My 2022 2500 fits with little room to spare in my garage with 8-foot wide doors; it's tight but never had a problem pulling in or backing out as long as the truck is heading straight towards the garage. Measuring (without any help) with mirrors folded I get 86 -87 inches from outside of mirrors.

I assume since Ram still has this document on their site that the dimensions haven't changed from the 4th gen.

https://www.ramtrucks.com/assets/pdf/specsheet/ram_350045005500_dimensions.pdf

103.5" mirrors out and 84.6" folded
 
I was just looking this up too, comparing the HD to the 1500 and found the 1500 says it is 82.1" w/o mirrors and the HD's are 79.5" w/o mirrors. Is that accurate? How is the 1500 wider? Then just going a little further, it says the height of the HD's are 80.2 inches and the height of the 1500 is 77.6 inches. My truck seems HUGE. I mean, it doesn't help that I am short, but is it really only less than 3 inches higher than the 1500s?
 
Now I found the old Ram brochure from last year that I had and it says "Overall body width: 83.5". So maybe that is the width of them folded in and the 79.5 is without the mirrors at all?
 
It does seem odd that the listed dimensions are so close. I thought maybe it had something to do with the fact that the HD dimensions were from the gen 4 truck, but I found the current HD dimensions below on the upfitter pages at Ram and they are still similar

1500 Max width: 79.9", Max height: 77.5"

2500 Max width: 79.4", Max height: 80.2"

Its just the body style on the 5th gens that make them a touch wider and yes the hight difference is minimal depending on the pkg the 1500 has some are taller than others

That's crazy. I guess I just assumed this truck is super high because the only other truck I am used to is borrowing my dad's 08 Silverado and that tailgate is a little below my waist and this one is way above it. I guess all of the modern half tons are almost as high as these HDs now!
