Turns like a bus

I have a 2012 Tacoma ,bought it new ,love the truck but the turning radius sucks, need 4 lanes almost, anyone else notice that with theirs?

 

Welcome I've owned 3 tacos, a silverado, 2 F150s and 2 rangers and the taco has the best of them all. Not sure what you were driving before but I have no complaints.

 

When I first got my double cab I felt the same way. Now, I never even think about it. What were you driving before the Tacoma?

 

I went from a f350 quad cab long box to the tacoma this thing turns like a shopping cart lol

 

Turns like an 18' long truck

 

Last truck was 96 ram 1500

 

How many doors? How long of a bed?

How long of a bed does your new truck have?

 

I never really notice the turning until I have to do a complete U turn on my street, which the turning radius won't permit. So I have to do a 3-point turn.

My box is the longer one then the two and the truck is 4 door

My 2013 extended cab turns in a smaller circle than my wifes Altima.

That explains it, 221" overall length, about the size of a Cadillac Fleetwood. What kind of turning circle were you expecting?

 

Either you are expecting a smaller turning radius, or you have a locked diff somehow

 

In a DCLB ?

 

there's no way its a factory option but those are the two things off the top of my head that cause a perceived giant turning circle..

 

I hope the OP isn't trying to turn with 4WD engaged on pavement. To put things in perspective, the truck is as long as this thing:

 

It will make the u-turn, you just gotta punch it!!
