Turning Radius
Is the turning radius improved for the 6.5 Crew cab?
I always found it exceptionally wide on the 2015-20s compared to competitors. Wondering if Ford improved on this. |
2021 is 51.1 feet. https://media.ford.com/content/dam/f...ical-Specs.pdf No change from 2015 - 2020.

That link does not seem to work for me.
so you think there is an increase in turning radius from the 2015-20? |
Source was incorrect. |
Thats what I thought but I wanted to be clear.
Therefore wanted to confirm. Thanks for your patience. |
So that means a crew cab 8 bed F450 (176 wheelbase) has a smaller turning radius than the two longest F150s (157 and 163). The 2019 F450 is only 50.4 curb to curb.
Thats actually impressive on the part of the F450... |
My friend claimed his Dads F250 turned sharper than his F150 157.
I thought Ford might have tightened it up a bit on the new gen. The length is workable but a tighter turn radius would help. The last I drove a GM it seemed tighter also. |

I found this source for 2020, which shows there was NOT a change. https://www.caranddriver.com/ford/f-150-2020/specs For the F250, here's the specs, indication a bigger radius, not smaller. https://www.caranddriver.com/ford/super-duty/specs |

My guess is the Super Duty's ride higher from the factory, and have more available cramp angle for steering. I used to drive an International utility truck, and I swear the front tires could angle nearly 80 degrees and that truck could almost turn around in its own length.
The F450 has a much wider front axle than the F250 and F350SRW/DRW, and it has the capability to turn even sharper than the F150/F250/F350. In terms of turning radii, from shortest to longest: F450 F150 F250/F350 4x4 F250/F350 4x2 This is also dependent on wheelbase. Obviously a 122 WB F150 will out-turn a 176 WB F450. But the 176 WB F450 seems to beat out every other truck 157 or longer. The absolute worst turning radius is in the F250/F350 SRW/DRW 4x2 176 wheelbase. |
