Steering ratios

Did different SD's come with different steering ratios? I drive E350's at work and have noticed they have a much better turn radius than my F250. I'm not sure how much extra angle I could realistically get with the 285's anyways but I figured its worth asking!

Box ratio
Wheel arm bump stops are longer on one than then other
Leaf springs on one and coils on the other
Wheel sizes are different

Weird. We have one at work too and the turning is HORRIBLE on it compared to what I thought wasn't so good on my truck. It's a 2010
