By the looks of the two pictures I'm guessing a full axle's worth. 20 some inches is probably right. I'm floored. What a major screw up bud.
I'm glad you seem to have this resolved.
Pretty messed up huh? 
Latest update for all.....
Got an email that says they were having flow issues with one of my AC units during the PDI and they working on fixing it before it goes into the water test booth. Another slight delay, but hope it gets fixed!

For fun Mav I came up with these.
This one shows the rear tire closer to the door like the last picture of the new Fuzion. What is that? Maybe a 12-14"? Assuming the garage doors are close to the same position of course.
However, this one tells more of a story. I know the angle isn't quite right (unfair), but it's close enough to tell there's a difference. I'm guessing the Fuzion is a good 2/3's of a tire forward there.
I will say this. Your spare tire placement is a he|| of alot smarter place. I've drug mine twice now. I've been planning on moving it forward of the axles like yours, and adding a second spare, but just haven't had the chance yet.

Yeah, you can tell that they just added the extra 2ft of the 14ft garage onto the end of a normal 12ft floorplan.
I like the foward placement of the spare too. I would have to move mine if it was way back there.

Hope everything goes good during the PDI. I would go over everything with a fine tooth comb. You will have to post pic's after you get it.

After seeing the pictures of your old one. Mine is the same, although I haven't had any trouble going down the road full of water, 4seat rzr & bunch other little crap. Other than my 10" pin box extension & my truck is a little heavier, things should be nearly identicle...?
I wish they would make it a recall just the same.....

Yeah, I already have the list to go over to make sure everything is cool.
Jason, congrats on the new TH! Very few have the Recon on here. You'll have to post up pics and let us know how it works out.
Moosehumper, I'm guessing that some had the issue and some didn't. They may do a recall, but I doubt it. I'd do some weighing though and see where your at.
