2021 Turning Diameter

[Knickell]

I duck in parking garages when I drive under the concrete support beams....like that's going to do any f'n good lol

Thought I was the only one! There is a “seven foot clearance” bumper tube thing at the beginning of a parking garage I use a lot. It’s dang close! I had to put the sun shade back on the moonroof back a couple time to make certain I was clear! I still do it as a reflex!

People around my area also have a habit parking like complete asswagons with their full size truck of choice. Parking deliberately crooked, across two or three spaces, up on a curb, making it a bitch for others to get in and out of their own cars, sometimes all four in unison. It pisses me off to no end, and is blatantly inconsiderate. I vowed if I every did get my truck delivered, I’d still park like a normal, sane driver and not like those douchebags. Hence, a large part of the reason I park way out in the lot!

There are some very cool memes about how people "express their opinion about those parkers"

I’ve seen those! Believe me, I’ve strongly considered picking up a batch of these for my own!

Yes. And I can confirm after driving theirs the radius is bigger.

You may be referring to the adaptive steering making it easier to maneuver in lots until you lock out (shorter turn to lock at lower speeds), which I agree is true and super nice.

Okay, this is me walking my snarky reply earlier back, Per Ford's official documentation the 19 wheelbase is 145" the 21' is 145'4"'s; 19' track width is 67.6" front and rear, 21' track width is 67.9 front, 68.3 rear, 21' turning circle is 47.8' (they don't even list the turning circle for the 19'

I apologize

This is what I found from Ford on the 21's

I know I rarely am able to park mine at a single attempt in most spaces.

Yup. This is the 2015 (which I assume is the same until 2020) :

47.8 for 5.5ft bed Supercrew 4x4 and 4x2. Same as 2021 listed specs...

I'm hoping that the extra inch of tire on the 20's caused the ford engineers to adjust when steering locks for rubbing purposes. I ordered mine with the 18's so if it ever comes I'll let you guys know if it's any different.

I don't have my 2021 yet, I felt that my 2018 had a worse turning radius then my previous 2015, however, when i test drove 2021 back in February I thought it had a better turning radius then the 2018.

I wonder if the steering assist on the upper trims helps at all? I understand wheel lock is the same but they charge extra for some reason. Any upper trim owners what to add info on how well the assist works

Before it burned I was getting to learn the turning radius, or lack there of, of my 157. Coming from a 2010 extended cab Silverado the difference was quite noticeable. Whatever happened with the tech that was developed to turn all 4 wheels? I think that was a Chevy thing if I remember correctly.

Ok so today I figured out something.

My brother has a 21 STX 4x4 145" 2.7L Supercrew with the 275 60r20 Hankooks
My parents have a 21 Platinum 4x4 145" Powerboost Supercrew also with the 275 60r20 Hankooks

These are pictures at full turn to lock (camera at same place under mirror and my right hand reaching in to pull the steering wheel all the way to lock)

It's slight, but the white STX has a larger angle of turn (radius felt better driving it, so I did this to confirm)

2 things could cause this - either:
- Powerboost frame/drivetrain interferes with wheel turn
- Adaptive steering on upper trims actually limit wheel turn a bit.

 

[dmac]

On second obs, I realize you have to pull alot harder for the last bit of turn on the wheel for the platinum's adaptive steering to lock out. This may have cause me to think full lock is shorter than it is. Non adaptive units, it's much more linear/easier to get to full lock.
