Is there any way to get a tighter turning radius out of my truck ?
Without shortening my truck
Thanks.

 

LOL! Sorry, nope. Well, at least not without doing a solid axle swap to something that can kick the wheels around further. Even then, there may be much bigger/longer trucks out there, but these are not by any means short, so you shouldn't expect much from them for turning.

 

Changing the entire front end, thus allowing the front tires to turn at more of an angle...

Is the wheel hard to move or something? Or are you just making a general statement as to how you dislike 3-point turns?

 

Thanks for the info.
I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something easy, well not too difficult like.......rear steering, plus the cost, OUCH!
I guess 3 point turns are not so bad after all !

 

There are two other options to improve your turning radius....Ford and Chevy.....Oh crap....did I say that out loud

 

Kinda, sorta.
According to Edmunds.com, the 1994 Dakota 4x4 extended cab has a turning radius of 44 feet. A comparable S-10 is 42.1.

A 2001 Dakota 4x4 extended cab has a turning radius of 41 feet, and a comparble Ranger is 43 feet.

None of the comparable trucks are really all that much better. You'd still have a 3-point.

 

Just give it more gas during the turn. Then slide around. Basicly learn how to drift. Its a lot of fun in tight parking lots!! Try it!

 

I noticed my 92 dak extended cab takes a bit more to turn aswell. It's just something to get used to. Just punch it and swing the **** end around you'll be good to go.

 

Thanks for the Edmunds info.
Maybe that's why some Dakotas have V8's, to make up for the turning radius, punch it !

 

just watch out for the boys in blue,the tickets are kinda high,trust me
