Maybe it will work over here!?
I posted this in the Super Duty forum with no response, I will try here as it involves a V-10.
HI Guy’s,
I have a ’97 F-150 SC 4X4 short bed with the 4.6 liter and 4.11 gears. I am going to be upgrading to a 2 or 3 year old Super Duty F-250 super cab long bed or crew short bed with the V-10 and 4X4.
My question is this, what can I expect for different turning radiuses between what I have now and the SD? I am pulling a trailer and would like to find out what to expect for backing it up into my driveway, etc.
Thanks,
Scott

If the turning radius is important and you haven't yet obtained the F250, you should be aware that starting in '05 the turn radius improved a lot. Can't give specifics but I'm sure they'll be coming...

Actually: "The Super Duty 4x4's turning diameter is up to 5.1' tighter than before; loaded and unloaded cornering and manoeuverability are more precise; and it's easier to park, too."
After all the marketing BS, they changed suspensions from leaf to coil in '05 and the turn radius is better.

Scott you know that the overall wheel base has an impact...so your 97 4x4 F150 is a LOT shorter then a 01 and up SuperDuty 4 door long bed... The F205/350 a couple of years old have the solid axle and leafs in front so you can be sure the longer truck will not trun as tight a circle as your F150... if you find a 05 / 06 in your price range the new coil front 4x4 turns significantly tighter.

Ken, setup a video camera on the ground or tripod, you don't need the wife 
I was thinking of doing this just to have a smokey burnout video... I think I might ... hope I don't break an axle ...
I've never heard my V10 at full throttle from outside the truck - the video cam should pick that up quite nice... hmm... another project for this weekend ... hee hee...
