It was, in fact, a great system on pickups (and Suburbans). Parking lot maneuverability was greatly improved and it was phenomenal for trailering (the wheels turned in the same direction at speed, allowing for very stable lane changes).
But GM chose to package the quad steer option with the composite pickup box, which drove the price up into the $4000 range for the option. Not a lot of appetite for that among consumers.
