Chevrolet's upcoming all-electric Silverado will be available with a four-wheel steering system. The all-electric Silverado will be based on the Ultium platform and will be the brand's first all-electric pickup truck. GM promises increased agility and a tighter turning radius at low speeds.
But that is not all, as the four-wheel steer, as General Motors calls the system, will also bring improved handling for the all-electric Silverado, as well as increased high-speed stability. At this point, it is important to note that the all-wheel-steering system for the electric Silverado will be available as an option, so not all versions of the model will get it.
It is worth noting that GM offered four-wheel steering in the Silverado range back in 2002, when it was called Quadrasteer.
The other news about the all-electric Silverado is the possibility of ordering 24-inch wheels for the electric pickup truck from Chevy. Unfortunately, the American brand has not specified when the electric Silverado will reach the market, but it may be launched as MY2024 vehicle. Regardless, interested consumers are invited to sign up to a mailing list to get news about the model. Production will be handled by GM's Factory Zero, the place where the reborn Hummer will be manufactured.
All-wheel steering is not a recent technology in the automotive world, and you can thank Honda for that feat. Back in 1987, the Honda Prelude Si 4WS came out with a mechanical four-wheel steering system. Japanese automakers like Mazda, Mitsubishi, Toyota, and Nissan introduced similar systems at the time. The last iteration of 4WS from Honda came with an electric motor to operate the rear-wheel steering function. Other automakers refrained from employing similar systems for several years.
However, premium German marques joined in on the fun in the last decade with electrically operated and electronically controlled systems. The French at Renault also introduced a four-wheel-steering system on their Laguna mid-sized model, which was called 4Control. Just like its equivalents from premium German brands, it was also electrically operated. Chevrolet's system for the all-electric Silverado's
