Wow...throwing a knee in Boomer* gonads by General Motors

It is true though...the current crop of 20-somethings are sick of our climate butt-dragging

Love the sensible showing of the 4 wheel steer with parking...

*exception to the generation's outliers on this forum, obviously

I have one. Love it when towing the car trailer and I kick it on in tight parking lots. It's like nothing is back there when pulling 4 tons.

Good to see it back and hopefully GM won't fubar it this time by charging $5k for the option...that stigma stuck with the truck in those three years. It may stick this time since all the e-trucks except the Lightning brag about it.

Alignments...not unusual to do 4 wheel these days. A lot of cars have adjustable toe links in the back these days, including the Tesla Plaid. Car wash and towtrucks is the pain. Gotta check for clearance in the wheel guides and that the tow guy doesn't drag or tie the truck down by the tie rods...

The big thing about 4WS is having a body design that has the wheelhouse clearances while constrained to being able to carry a 4x8 sheet of plywood - not much magic can be done there...the track has to get wider unless you are scrubbing the tires while at a standstill, which would be a disaster for a truck.

The Quadrasteer is no more horrific in track width than a Ford F-150 Raptor.

The quadrasteer is pretty much a Dana 60 as used in the fromt of beam axle 4WD's. Backwards diff housing but knuckles kingpins etc appear to me to be same.
