Is there any info on the turning circle? The Scout II was as good as the original Bronco (tight). Wondering if these Scouts come anywhere close.

Typically turning radius depends on wheelbase, which I believe they've advertised but not sure how official they are. Steering angle also plays a part in it which I don't think has been released.

You can probably estimate a number based on comparison to similarly shaped/sized SUVs with the same or close to the same wheel base. If I had to guess without looking, I'd imagine something like the Land Cruiser (or GX 550) would come close.

Yes, but there are other factors as well, such as suspension, steering knuckles and tire size. Consider the difference between the Scout 80/800’s and Scout II. Both had 100” wheel bases.

I want what the Scout II had… but you know the saying, ‘if wishes were fishes, we’d all cast nets’.

The latest update I watched from TFL specced the wheelbase as nearly identical to a Tahoe for the Traveler and an F-150 4 door for the Terra.

That said, Ford full sizes have historically had pretty good turning radii for their size. It really comes down to implementation and whether they're focused on it.
