4 wheel steering

far as I know/am concerned: 1. they percieved the value to be far too high and put it in an expen$ive bundle of option$ 2. it was not available on anything but half ton full size trucks. probably would have been more valuable on 3/4 tons.

an exclusivity clause between GM and the supplier kept it out of the hands of competitors. they couldn't sell it, and they wouldn't let anyone else sell it, either.

It was a poorly implemented solution to a problem that didn't exist.

It was too expensive and not a lot of people were buying them as a result. For a while, they were giving a $4000 rebate on the $4000 option, just to move them. Even with the rebate though, you had to buy an LT Silverado or a Sierra Denali, so you were forced to step into a very expensive half ton truck.

Quadrasteer was available on 3/4 ton Suburbans and Yukon XLs.

If you've driven one, the utility becomes obvious immediately. Especially if you ever tow a trailer. But even in tight parking lots, Quadrasteer was worth its weight in gold.

I don't ever recall us having any major problems or come-backs at the dealership with Quadrasteer trucks.
