I'm sure when your dialing that little **** on the console to help you back up I'm pretty sure you have zero feeling. Didn't GM experiment with rear steer on the public with the behemoth suvs in the day?

A bunch of high-end cars have had 4-wheel steering.

Below is the original auction sale record of the ‘52 quad cab. Old time FTEers will recall it’s been discussed here numerous times, and even prompted me to track it down a lot of years ago having heard it might be for sale. He paid $5610 according to the record. I shot a $7k offer but I must not have been in the ballpark. He just walked away without telling me a number. Stu

Something I've been seeing a lot of lately, is low profile tires on off-road vehicles. I'm talking trucks, SUVs, and Jeeps equipped with proper lift and suspensions, post jacks, traction boards, massive remote reservoir shocks, flex out the ying-yang, and low profile tires. Unless I'm missing something about new tire technology, fat and soft is the rule.

Maybe that's why I never see these trucks muddy?
