I could never seem to find accurate turning radius data on trucks. The turning RADIUS listed varied and sometimes the distance listed was actually a diameter. I wanted to compare my M915A1 & M818 so I took each one and turned a full 180 degrees and measured from outside to outside(i.e, real world situation-how much room does it take to turn around a truck without hitting anything). Just for a comparison, I measured my Chevy 1/2T extended cab pickup. Results: M818 68'1", M915A1 66'6", Chevy pickup 41'0". I was suprised that the M915A1 didn't turn much quicker than an M818 even though it doesn't have 6 wheel drive.
