GM to drop Quadrasteer from truck line

This could be good news for my desire for a Ford truck with Quadrasteer, but I doubt it. It could be good news because now that GM's exclusive deal with Delphi, the system manuafacturer has died, other truck companies could buy into the technology now instead of waiting for the original licencing deal to expire. Sadly, I think the same reasons it didn't work for GM, overpriced and under-sold will cause the others to think hard about adding it to their brand of trucks.

Here's one reason I'd like it:

With Quadrasteer, the rear wheels turned up to 12 degrees in the opposite direction of the front wheels, enabling a full-sized heavy duty Silverado or Sierra to turn a corner in a tight 36.5 feet, a radius that is best on the market. The Nissan Titan makes a turn in 45 feet while the Toyota Tundra can turn a circle in just over 44 feet.

I know my truck's turning radius is easily in that 45 foot radius range, making fitting into the parking spots at Wal-Mart a challenge every time I go there. I also know that 4WS has not been successful on any of the vehicles its been tried on over the past years. I remain hopeful that Ford might buy Dephi's technology, add it to a truck I like and put it up for sale just about the time I'm ready to be talked out of my 2000 F250 Super Duty, crew cab.

Ford, if you're listening, call it 2 years from now, maybe 3. A 2008 model, F150 Crew Cab, Lariat model with a 6 foot bed, 4WD, a V-8 and the King Ranch leather package and quadrasteer will be dandy, thanks. And green. Can I get a decent color of true green as a color choice please? You've been dumping some ugly colors on the trucks the past couple years.
