Steer axle position.

More like the position of the driver relative to the steer axle.

...also a Uhaul doesn't steer the same way as an UPS truck

They also don't completely ing suck.

The new ford 800 turn awesome.

I found the steering on those to be a bit stiff, even at maneuvering speed.

Wuss.

You're right. The manly thing to do would be to dismiss the fact entirely and delude myself into believing they steer as easy as a Workhorse.

Did you ever drive a non-power steering 800 or 1000?

retired people need to stay out of current things with UPS. especially the ones that wasn't man enough to finish as a regular driver.

Someday, when you learn what you are talking about, maybe I'll respond to that.

Even the newer ones all depend on brand. The new ford 800 turn awesome. The freight liners. You couldn't pull a U turn on the infield of a baseball field.

Can't be any worst than a Sprinter. Those things I need a soccer field for.

Yes. They are garbage. Ferraris from the 40's also had pretty lackluster handling compared to new Civics but the comparison isn't very valid and pretty unfair.

I remember someone bobtailing back here from HARPA in one of them . Had to stop quick, and ended up on his nose.

26 ft? Hell I like my 6300. Can make a u turn on a by way or end of a street. My driving anything bigger are gone. Also glad to never drive anything bigger than an old p800

 

[Covemastah]

Nothing beats the older style Ford
P-800 Bulkhead door designed by a midget & the stick shift was almost out the passenger door and the drivers seat was almost out side the car ,, if you were 6' tall , the e E/ brake was on your knee !! Fun days !!!

I

The old style p-500 could move !!
