Hey Guys,

I am planning to pour a concrete parking pad in front of my garage. I'd like to be able to pull my trailer in and turn it around in front of the garage. Does anyone know the rough turning radius of a 2004 Ram 1500 quad cab with a 24' tag along trailer?

I plan to do a rough measurement in a local parking lot, but I thought some of you guys might have been through this already and know what it is.

Thanks !!

With my 06 4X4 club cab short box with my 18' trailer I need a solid 40 feet with the steering on the bump stop. The dodge don't turn for chit.

You would probably want 50-60 feet to allow for contingencies. More up front is usually better than an after the fact "I wish I would have..."

And how far north of 20 are you? I thought about you yesterday when I came through the 20 - Ball Ground Road intersection on my way to Cumming.


Old, tired, and sometimes broke down. Me, not my car...

Thanks Shoozy, that's what we've decided on. I know I can turn the truck in a cul de sac and I believe they are 60.

I'm not far from 20. I'm about 4 miles off exit 20 at Riverstone PKWY. Still trying to get the garage built.
