turning radius GM vs Tundra

So the turning diameter of the Tundra is slightly better than the GM, I am wondering if any one out there has a real world comparison and how much difference there really is.
The Tundra is rated 44 Feet Diameter
The GM is rated 47.3 Feet Diameter.

I believe these specs are for the Tundra Crewmax and the GM crew cab. If anyone has different specs please advise.

I am not sure that the extra 3 feet is anything to worry about considering or not.
Thanks

Not sure about the GM but the 07 Tundra has an awesome turning radius. Compared to the 06 Tundra I traded in, NITE AND DAY. I can turn this big thing on a dime. lol I LOVE my truck!!!

My new regular cab is 39 feet. That's why I got it. It is a deciding factor for me since I pull my trailers in and out of a tight fit through and around my barns. I can't even use a long bed truck let alone crew max or extended cab. I've been using a Dakota RC since 02, but it broke. Great little truck, but they don't make the RC anymore plus its kinda' nice to have the 150 extra HP with monster brakes.

We actually drove both of them the same day when we were trying to figure out what we wanted. There is a huge turning radius difference. The tundra has a considerable advantage over the GM. We liked the interior better on the Gm over the toyota and got a better dealer on the Gm, but we feel in the long road the resale is better on the toyota and that the rest of the features that the toyota has outways the difference. I am now trying to find a better deal on a toyota then I am getting from one dealer here. I hope this helps.

I could have bought a Regular Cab Chevy with a 5.3/auto for a little less if I could find one the way a need it. They don't have big disk brakes or that much power. Would have been a step back unless I went to the HD and they don't have a RC SB in the HD.
