The ability to maneuver through crowded streets, narrow country lanes or squeezed-tight boat ramps can save time for a family
on the go. That makes the E-Series’ tight turning diameter as impressive as any 0–60 mph figures.

Turning Diameter
The combination of the proper front axle equipment results in an important truck
performance specification. The turning diameter is defined as the diameter of the
outside track made by the outside front tire during the shortest turn. The diagram
shows the diameter made by the outside edge of the bumper during the shortest turn.
NOTE: When comparing competitive truck specifications, note whether they spec a
diameter or radius dimension.
