    Ok, I knew the difference between a Tacoma and the Tundra there will be an obvious size difference, but I always prided myself on how well I perform my U-Turns...
    but I have tried twice so far, and can not get it done without backing up once if not twice!!!
    So unless I am turning into a 4-lane highway, will need to second-think future U-turns...
    Your thoughts?

    Your ability to perform such great u turns was more of a function of the smaller truck; expertise not so much. Smaller vehicle = tighter turning radius.

    U turn in a Jeep Wrangler and you will feel like a champ. Tundra is a full size truck which need more room to do so.

    Turn off the traction control, press the gas all the way, turn and release gas when you reach 180.

    Don't blame the truck, blame the lift! :wink:

    I was pleasantly surprised by how sharp my Tundra turns compared to my last half-ton. But my Tundra is still stock... :(
