Default 3/4 ton and 1 ton truck turning radius

I am thinking of getting a dually and I am a little concerned about the turning radius and manueverability. I have had regular cab 3/4 ton trucks as well as extended and crew cab trucks. the srw may be questionable for the weight i have been carrying so I figure its time for a change.
I was wondering if anyone knew how much tighter a regular cab will turn than an extended cab.I have looked on a few websites but have had no luck.
I currently have a chevy and am looking to stay with the same manufacturer.

I drive a 3/4 ton Chebby regular cab 8' bed. I usedta have a 4 door truck with an 8' bed years ago. I would NEVER have one again (4 door) and drive around town.

GMC ha a truck with an articulated rear axle that helps the turning radius. It's also more complex, and may only be available on the little toy trucks (1/2 ton).

I can tell you that an extended cab dodge 1 ton has a much much smaller turning radius than a 1 ton ford. Amazing difference, the ford sucks
