Is turning radius of 2022 RAM 3500 Regular cab really 2' shorter than RAM 2500?

Folks,

After owning RAM 2500 for a couple years (CrewCab, Laramie, Cummins, stick shift), I ended up having to sell because the parking lots of companies where I work tended to be near-impossible to park it in. I loved the truck, however, and keep coming back to it, hoping to find the solution. I discovered the following very unexpected fact -- RAM web site specs pages:
https://www.ramtrucks.com/ram-2500/specs.html
https://www.ramtrucks.com/ram-3500/specs.html
list the following values for the turning radius:
RAM 3500 4x4 Regular Cab: 20.8 feet
RAM 2500 4x4 Regular Cab: 22.7 feet
RAM 2500 4x4 CrewCab: 24 feet (my old rig, for reference)
For my use case, 20.8 feet would be acceptable, whereas 22.7 and 24 feet definitely are not. However, given 2500 and 3500 are nearly identical, I strongly suspect that 20.8 feet turning radius of 3500 is a mistake.
Would anyone happen to definitely know whether indeed, somehow, magically, RAM 3500 Regular Cab has an almost-by-2-feet shorter turning radius than the equivalent RAM 2500, or whether it's just an error in the spec sheet?

As this is really a make-it-or-break-it factor for me, I really appreciate your help!
Huge thanks!
