Yep, the Alante 26 has a very short turning radius, which as the OP stated is great when you parallel park it (like i do in my rv access) or need to do a U-turn. But be very mindful of that tail swing, saw a guy scrape a wall he was to close to by swinging out to sharp. Mine also has the 158" wheel base and I also tow with the blue Ox Alpha, but tow a CR-V which has rounded low bumpers. First time I hooked it up gave my wife the radio and had her watch as I made sharper and sharper turns, seems I can lock it and still not hit the toad. (but very close!) I used to drive big rigs and am very conscious of how much damage a jack-knife can do. I have seen guys with 5th wheels punch out their rear windows doing to sharp of a turn.
