I'm doing loads of research on quadrasteer right now and I'd love to hear from some guys that have them or had them. I have recently seen a Suburban 2500 where I live with quadrasteer and so I'm just curious about them. What kind of production numbers are there? Any really rare ones?

2002-2005 was when they were made. For the yukon xl and suburban they were 2003-2005. They seem pretty hard to find. I was looking for an 05 gmc yukon xl quadrasteer in black with no luck. So they can be hard to find

Quadrasteer vehicles in general are rare. I think there were 5 or 6000 made. There were some in diesels and other HDs I believe. Some in the big SUVs and of course half ton pickups, many in Denali's. They are easy to spot since they are wider in the rear and have the extra "dually" lights.

 

As far as the system itself it takes maintenance just like anything else. It will most likely need worked on at some point, there are electric and hydraulic components. It's a shame it never caught on, to my knowledge they're the only passenger vehicles to have this feature, at least recently. Porsche uses "rear wheel steering" in the new 911's but it is mainly for use at speed and doesn't have the articulation that QS does or the practical use. Quadrasteer shortens the turning radius by about 25%.

No diesels. The largest engine in at least a truck with it was a 6.0

A friend of mine found a diesel with QS, must have had the diesel put in after it left the factory. I have seen 1 Chevy, 1 Denali, and 1 Yukon locally with 4 wheel steer. I see a few rolling on the highway but not many.

I dont think you could get them in the 2500HD. The reason being, the rear isnt a full floater. You could get it in the Denali, c2500 burb/XL, 1500HD, and possibly the light 25

58,500 on my 2004 sierra Denali. No problem with Q steer. Book says always keep it on. Don't want to live without it. No new truck for me unless it has Q steer!

Found a few quadrasteer 2500hd's. Looks like gas 6.0 on 2500HD QS

Both those pickups you linked are "Light 25's". Non-HD 2500's. I did say possibly light 25's had it.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
