Quadrasteer with disc brakes

Feels to me like it does.

Actually it's the rims on this one below, but mine is dark blue.

It's the stock chrome 20" rims, I'm a 70's car guy so anything over 15" seems too big.
My friends make fun of me for hating big rims and listening to rap but what can I say? I'm broken in my own special way.

I had to steal the pics from Google, my caddy will not earn me ever taking a pic of it. My 69 Camaro was my first cool car that I loved and owned for 20 years, and proposed to my wife in. I took 1 pic of it when installing my first alcohol engine in it. The pic of that dodge he other day-my little sister took that and sent it to my wife when my wife asked what my race truck looked like. I never knew the dodge pic existed till the day I posted it here. Chopped, channeled, 6 way bed that could rotate and dump. And that truck never earned me taking a pic either.
 
Will, I'm waiting for the photo of your Escalade with the 26" rims and a 12,000 lb Warn Winch mounted on the front.:happy:
 
LOL. For the record, my 6.2L/6L80E 2009 Yukon Denali gets 13 MPG city on regular, and about 18 highway on premium. Road-trip to Iowa tomorrow should confirm that lol.
 
None of our farm trucks have ever done that well. Not all of those were ragged on with Bale beds either. Some were just like our quadrasteer, DD to the farm, light to moderate towing, jump in a diesel or 8.1 powered truck to pull heavy. My GPA has a 07 classic ecsb 6.0 4x4 and before he swapped the Bale bed on it got 11mpg, now it gets 6mpg no matter what.

Not sure what it is about the C/K2500 build but they suck fuel with a 6.0l.

The quad was the best running one I've ever had and IMO the mpg wasn't bad for a 6.0. My wife got 10 when she'd drive I was usually around 13, averaged 12ish on gas, 9-10 on LPG.
 
Granted, my Denali has 3.42 gears, lol. That definitely helps a lot. I'd guess most of your trucks have 4.10s? Those extra RPM going down the road really suck fuel.
 
My uncles 05 3500 srw eclb with a 6.0l could get 13-14 on the interstate, averaged around 11-12 for the most part. He didnt mind the milage, last Ichecked he was nearing 400k miles, and pump rub had finally gotten him, other than a water pump, 2 alternators, 2 brake jobs, 1 hub bearing, and an idler & pitman arm, he hasn't done squat to it but drive and change the oil every 10k miles or so.
