The Tacoma is a tiny truck and so, not a CYBERTRUCK! :)
It's not that tiny and my point is that the CT with 4-wheel steering is supposed to be able to turn might tighter than the monster trucks Ford and Chevy are selling.

Per Edmunds, my 2013 double cab is 17'4" long with a turning radius of 40.7-ft. A different forum article estimates the CT has a 38.6 ft turning radius, so shorter by 2-ft than my Tacoma. The CT is estimated at just less than 19-ft so only about 1-1/2 ft longer than my Tacoma.

Quit ripping on Tacomas. It's a mid-size truck and actually the perfect size for most people.

I hate to be a nit picker (no I don't) but since it was a cul de sac that wasn't, technically speaking, a U turn.

Ok, Ilike many here, I need to get a life which I will, once I get my CyberTruck. :)

I'll join you in the "need to get a life" room at psychology camp...

My F-150 has a turning diameter of 54.4'. Oddly enough, it's turning radius is just 26.2'. It strikes me odd because both the turning circle and "curb-to-curb" turning is 54.4'.

Weird, right?


Okay, the Cybertruck is almost identical in length as my F-150 BUT, the Cybertruck has a longer wheelbase (I believe) which means it would have a larger turning circle given same turn angles on the front tires if it didn't have rear steer. I believe the CT without rear steer would have an uncomfortable turning circle. 38' is going to be so much better than my 54' !

NOTE: I don't know where the 38' figure came from.

Seems that my sarcastic nature has injured another fragile human being. I'm sorry and I'll try to be more sensitive to these trigger issues in the future. /s

I'm not a fragile human being, I just don't like rude comments about my current truck. As for including the sarcasm mark at the end of your comment, it totally destroys your attempt at being sorry.

Nope. Not even a Maverick.

I'm starting to think that the Cybertruck with a 19' turning radius will be okay.


Okay, I'll stop now.

NICE! ButI can do that with my 2006 F-150 with no problem.
Check out that video again. The cul-de-sac only widens to the right side, and there's a parked car on the left side. That turn was tighter than a lot of people on here think.

Well, once I get my CT I'll be able to compare.:)
