rockmeupto125 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 My curiousity has been piqued, and I've been looking at the Quadrasteer four wheel steering option that was available for a few years on the GM pickups (Sierra and Silverado). I've received good advice to just walk away simply because of the potential expense of an esoteric and long out of production item. But I'm curious if anyone here has had direct experience with the Quadrasteer option. The only thing I've picked up about them is from online forums, and those that have them seem to have a generally positive attitude of "I'll fix that pickup until it can't be fixed no more" because the option is no longer available. So again, anyone with direct experience with this system that can comment on it? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBLXX Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 (edited) No experience with that vehicle but I did have a Honda Prelude with 4WS. U turns were easy Edited November 15, 2018 by DBLXX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furbird Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 My old parts manager drove all the way to Texas to get one and he let me drive it once. Easiest extended cab pickup to park I've ever been in. It was like driving something half it's length. He bought it because he used to tow a lot and he and the entire planet will tell you that once you back up a trailer with one you're ruined for life. You can still get the parts for the rearend steering, but some of it can be pricey. I have not heard of a lot of failures with it, and my old boss still has his and has had zero failures with the rear steering. They also made a Suburban with this option, and that is supposedly extremely hard to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawkxx Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 So if it worked so well and people loved it, why is it no more? Cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockmeupto125 Posted November 15, 2018 Author Share Posted November 15, 2018 As I understand, it was a $4000 option, and not enough people bit on that big chaw. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superhawk996 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 On the technology/control side it could be cheaper today, but today's trucks have a lot more power so the whole axle assembly would have to be stronger & spendier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXitanium Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 My brother had one he liked it. He's driving a newer Ram right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
