The axle used under the QS models is actually heavier duty than the standard axle so it'd be a better choice for HD applications. It's a pretty simple system on the end of the axles, pretty much just like the front axle on a SD. The electronic system that steers the rear wheels is obviously quite a bit different, though.

While Ford is my first choice for trucks (owned '76 F-150, '88 F-150, now drive '04 F-350), I am glad that GM is out there trying new and unusual stuff. Even if it dosen't work, it makes everyone else make a better truck.

Skylines are quite popular in Australia, a lot get privately imported.
I am prehaps going to step on my toes when I say this (and cause some debate), but from the cars I have driven the GT-R Skyline is the best car (not truck) produced in the 90's.
The V-spec versions would lap the Nurburgring in under 8 mins... (as quick as a Porsche 911 Turbo, at a 1/3 of the price)

i think it could be nice to have. i can back a trailer fine as it is, but id take anything to make it easier, and it would be good for those tight parking spots instead of passing by looking for one a mile away from the store. but like said before, its just one more thing that can go wrong, and i would think anything dealing with drivetrain would be the last thing id want to go wrong.

For backing up trailers the QS is really only gonna help out the unexperienced. I have never had try more then once to get a trailor into a spot i wanted (as long as the trailor fits and it never takes longer than 5mintues to boot.)

Odd, I've never seen a stupid Truck. I've seen a few that makes me question the intellect of the owner. I could say the same thing about some posts.
