Does anyone have a solution for the poor steering radius on a 2010 Frontier? I have a crew cab with the long bed, and my International flat bed tow truck has a tighter radius!

I have a 2007 Frontier 4x4 Long Bed Crew Cab and have always had the same situation with poor turning radius and difficulty parking. The 4x4 seems to make it worse or is limited even more. Anyways, the only solution is essentially what Frontierguy recommended - K-turn or 3 point turn and being careful where you park and backing out. I have a backup camera which helps, but I don't rely on it. I did recently change out tires from the original BFGoodrich set (mileage) and the newer tires improved it ever so slightly but still not greatly (Michelin X-radial LT2). Sorry - all the other great stuff about this truck makes it worth it though and the long bed has really come in handy for me vs short.
