steering radius...

Dangit! But its already not that long, just a full size regular cab truck.

How come the automakers that be never just designed the front wheels to turn
sharper? Why'd they have to go and mess with rear wheel steering and all
that?

I mean, heck, on a forklift, the steer wheels turn 90 degrees. Admittedly a
different application for sure, but.....

The steer wheels also are dragged most of the time not pushed, and there
are no frame rails to contend with. Be happy your driving a Chevy, and not
a ford, or for really poor turning radius, 70's era Jeep J-20 Pick Ups.
