Thumbs down Turning radius

Turning Radius…

Okay, so I went from 350Z to a Titan for the winter.. and I live in Boston.. a “tight” city… but does any one else feel the turning radius of the titan is not so good??? I had a long bed Ford Ranger for years in college.. but never a “full size” pick up….. Just wondering if I need to get used to it.. or if other people feel the same thing… I can back in to any parking space.. but forward is not soooo good..

My Titan turns tighter than the 92 kc sev6 4x4 hardbody I traded in. And the Titan is much bigger.

The turning radius is exactly what I'd expect from a truck this size. I actually think the Titan is easier to get into a parking lot parking space than my '00 Tundra.

I actually think it turns pretty tight for a full size. I have zero problems parking in tight spots, though I prefer to park in BFE so it doesnt get hit.

There have been a couple of times that I thought the turning radius wasn't too hot, but I figure it's just something that I have to get used to. I live in the Boston area, too, and I imagine that it could get kind of hairy trying to manage some of those Boston streets...

Consider the Titan the middle ground between good and bad. GM and Chevy have a tighter turning radius.

Anyways, its still good for a truck.

As time goes bye it is slowly getting easier to judge parking spaces. I am slowly starting to creep closer to the front parking spaces.

thanks

thanks for the feedback... I definately love the truck.. there isn't any parking spot I can't back in to, that it would take a little back and forth, to get in forward....

Floor it with the steering wheel all the way to one side. It will turn within its own length!

The Titan seems to have a smaller turning radius than my old Dodge Dakota. Not sure if this is the case, but seems to be as I have not problems parking the Titan.
