- I feel the F450 had a bit tighter turning radius since it has a slightly shorter wheelbase. I am not disappointed with the Ram yet but honestly I have only done one trip. Over the next few weeks I will get more time to gain more experience. Since I bought it, it has pretty much sat as I had other projects to focus on.

No I will be keeping my Ram 5500. Too much invested in it. My only real complaint with it is it does not track as well as my F450. I will be taking it in for an alignment soon and that should help. I was just curious if Ford finally will have more features for F550's. Being a long time Ford guy switching to Ram has been a bit weird.
How does the turning radius feel to you comparing your 2022 5500 Ram to your 2017-2019 Ford F-450?
I realize that there are a few small differences in AF, CA, WB, and WCA dimensions between the two trucks, but what I am curious about is how the steering maneuverability differences feel in your hand, now that you have had sufficient experience operating both vehicles.
Which vehicle do you prefer turning around in? - No I will be keeping my Ram 5500. Too much invested in it. My only real complaint with it is it does not track as well as my F450.

Maybe in 5 years or so I might consider switching back. But more likely I will be used to the Ram and happy with it. - Grit_dogNavigator IITradin in again?
Dodge the wrong color or?? - 4x4ordExplorer IIIMy dealer told me they placed an order for a Platinum for me back in December. Ford won’t start building the higher trim levels till, I think, April.
