The Promaster has the lowest turning radius?

Can anyone here who's driven both the Promaster and the Sprinter confirm?

Has Ram put out any official numbers?

I've been leaning towards the Promaster, but I'd still take a bit of caution with that statement. Primarily because it has shorter wheelbase options. If they're looking at the specs for the wee lil' 118" WB, yeah, it probably turns darn tight. But even the 'long' 159"WB has an advantage over the 170"WB of the long sprinter.

Make sure you're looking at apples to apples comparison, or at least close as you can get.


All that said, I do think the Promaster has a bit smaller turning circle for 'equivalent' sized rigs.

144" Sprinter = 47.6', 170" Sprinter = 54.6'

130" Transit = 42.9'. 148" Transit = 48'

Just for the record, MB lists my 118" as having a 36.7' diameter turning circle.
I measured it once... the actual curb-to-curb is just a schooch over 32', and its "wall to wall" for the 36.7 feet.

My body length (if i didn't have the 6" longer step bumper) is 16.4', so my turning radius is pretty close to my length.

I do wish they imported the current "shorty" to the US.
