I've added a video link below where we measure this distance on the rear of a 2014 Chevy Malibu. The distance from the hitch pin hole to the furthest point when folded up is about 17-7/8 inches for all Kuat Sherpa 2.0 models, part # SH12G. I've attached a picture with a few dimensions of the rack so you can get an idea of its size.
