Turning Radius

I don't see this posted anywhere on here - a Facebook comment puts the turning radius tentatively at around 19ft

Looks like 12' is the standard lane width in US, with 9' for rural. Looks like no U-Turns for us!
A 19' radius gives it a 38' turning circle which is larger than quite a lot of cars out there. I would have thought with the wheels outside the body like that they'd be able to get some really tight angles - guess not

19 feet isn't encouraging .... a Chevy 3500 1 ton, long bed, crew cab dually with a 167.7" wheel base and overall length of 259.1" is 16.9'
