Default Turning radius...

Does anyone know if the turning radius on the same exact truck (wheelbase, bodystyle, etc) just considering 4x2 vs 4x4, is less on the 4x4? Thanks

That's cool then. I always thought you could turn your front wheels more on a 4x2 due to not having the cv shafts in the front. My grandpa has a 2005 f250 and told me he gets the 4x2 because it turns more than the 4x4. Must be mislead

The F-250 is a different story due to the solid front axle in the 4x4's. In the F150's the front suspension is identical between the 2wd and 4wd with the exception of the 4x4 drive train parts in the 4x4. The CV shafts in the 4x4 do not limit the turning radius.
