45 foot turning radius, 3700 lbs, 73 inches tall and 79 wide is not on the extreme end of maneuverability in the spectrum of consumer road vehicles though, at least not on the end I would want to be on usually
Eh, every F-series I've owned actually felt pretty stable on the road when it came down to it, and had enough ground clearance and suspension travel to comfortably get into and out of job sites.

I'm not saying it handles like a sports car, but compared to several SUV's of the same size/weight, it certainly feels like one.

Right now, my F150 suffers from a loose steering box, which I've yet to get around to tightening (Not dangerously loose, just outside of spec).
