Default General Observation... Turning Radius

I must say, I am so impressed with the turning radius of my H3. This thing turns a corner on a dime! I mean I have always driven full sized trucks, but my wife has had many different cars. I would put the H3 up against any of them as far as how sharp it makes turns. I live in a small town so I love making U-turns in the street and often had to turn and then backup to make the turn. Not anymore, the H3 U-turns very tight! I have yet to trail my H3 seriously, but I can't help to think the short turning radius only helps in tight spots!

One of the biggest things I miss after moving from an H3 to an H3t, it's something like 44'.

Yep, you can throw an H3 around pretty darn quick. I also love the U-turns, my buddies use to say "your never going to make it". They stopped that pretty quick after letting them drive a few times.

The "T" is still pretty good for it's wheel base, but you notice it if you park the H3 and then hop in the "T" for a ride. Although the "T" does have a better onroad ride due to the longer wheel base!

I love the turning radius but My H3 makes squealing noises with the front tires on real tight turns. I've wondered if the geometry or alignment is funny. Do you hear any of that?

I do plan to get the alignment checked. But it is also interesting that my tire wear appears to be normal (good).
