Horrible turning radius on TRD PRO

[B-52 Gunner]

4,000 miles on my PRO and love the power (had my 2002 TRD OR for 21 years).
What I don't like is the turning radius, especially in parking spaces. This thing turns like a 3/4 ton pick up.
Do all 2024's turn like this or just the PRO's & Trail Hunters?

Same question here, I swear my lifted Tundra turned tightier.

My 2024 Sport has a wider turning radius than my 2020. I’m still getting used to that. Not sure if the Pro and TH are worse, but the new ones don’t seem to turn as sharp across the board.

I'm pretty sure they all have a larger turning circle in this new generation (someone correct me if I’m wrong). I suspect it’s down to updated suspension geometry + the wheelbase being longer in the 4th gen. they turn like absolute boats, I don’t mind though. RIP to easy u turns on narrow city streets. My 6’ TH has been an interesting adjustment for sure and parallel parking has been humbling lol - I’m settling in pretty quick. Just takes a little time.

Glad it's not just my driving. Had to do an 11 point turn at Wal-Mart yesterday to get out of a parking spot

Naw, the long bed Trailhunter turns like a 3/4 ton truck. Everyone driving the 5' beds, yep turn radius is slightly increased vs the '23, but not much, maybe an extra ~10-20" / ~41'.

It's a wider truck, but can't say I've had a hard time parking this thing - coming from a wide ass old Ram, those are like driving a hoopty down the road

Yeah my TH turns like a Grenadier — WIDE

It is definitely a larger turning radius than I expected on this truck. It is an improvement over my Tundra which was terrible in this respect, but not as much as I hoped. My first attempt at a U-turn resulted in a three point turn, which was a surprise.

I don't know about the Pro. Doesn't it have a different suspension?

But a 2024 "regular" Tacoma with a 5' bed has a 4" wider turning radius than the previous generation.

Longbed 2024 Sport much looser turning radius than my 2G 2012 longbed sport . . . but I sure do love it

 

[Kielly]

Turning radius was a $10,000 extra, did you not get it???

I always feel like I'm driving a 1 Ton in my cities small parking lots, always more times than not I'm doing a 3 point turn to back in.

I have a long bed and the radius is ridonkulous.

Doesnt turn as bad as my previous truck (1998 F250) but definitely a lot worse than my 2008 4Runner. Still trying to get used to approach angles for turning into parking spots.. I really didnt expect it to be so much different than my 4Runner.. But it is a lot bigger!

LMAO - I'm glad it's not just me, I used the 11 point turn to convince my wife why I needed to replace my Tundra with a Tacoma.

Did you reduce it to a 10 point turn with the Tacoma?
