SuperDuty turning diameter
Does anyone know how Ford, in their infinite wisdom, measures the curb to curb turning diameter? I was told that it was in a left turn, measuring the inside circle made by the left wheel. Duh - how the heck do they figure there can be a curb at the inside wheel?
Any comments?

"Michigan-left-hand-turn" - a u-turn in a divided road or boulevard. Or in some older towns, they have those annoying rotundas (? can't remember proper name) in which you must enter a circular track and exit on (hopefully) the correct road. Both scenarios involve inside curbs - not so "duh" after all.

I would tend to doubt your source of information. Ford publishes curb-to-curb and wall-to-wall diameters. The wall-to-wall figures are only 2-3 ft more than the curb-to-curb. I am pretty sure it represents the outer-track.
