I measured from the hitch to the back of the step/deck and got 54 inches.

@Greg We have a longer Titan hitch extender with the part # RP45018 which can be used at 48 inches. Your bike rack would need to have a shank that is longer than 6 inches from it's pin hole to the nearest part of the bike rack.
