I didn't realize the turning radius of '10-'13 was tighter than '14+. I might have to test drive a '14+ just to see how this changes highway feel. Does this translate into slightly less maneuverability but smoother road-feel on the '14+?

'10-'13 : 38.1 feet

'14+ : 41.4 feet

Anyone own both models to compare?

I really have no complaints with mine. Just curious.

 

What changed in '14+ to cause the difference?

 

I plan to look in parts site and compare. No expert but probably a different steering rack or parts within.

One would probably want to measure distance between steering bump stops on both models as well.

 

After my cab and a half long bed full size truck, its almost to tight. But really, its pretty good on the '17. I think tighter than our Jeep, and certainly much tighter than my pickup. But that's like driving a bus.

 

I saw a few '14+ reviews comparing pre-refresh and on-road they mentioned they liked how refresh drove better on road... might be related.

Worst car I had for turning radius was a '02 Maxima. I think a long bed crew cab dually did better than that thing.

 

I had a 2010 and traded it for the 2014. I think the 2014 rides better, might be my tires, but I don't notice the turning radius is any different.

 

It may be so insignificant one would need to use a measuring tape and compare the two models. I'm alway curious about the numbers and stats. :-)
