If they can make this truck a viable option and somewhat competitive in pricing to my F150 plati, the newest f150 will be my last one.

Since I believe a turn of that radius requires some of the wheels to turn forward while some are in reverse I beg to differ. Notice that it completes the circle within the length of the truck's wheelbase, not pivoting the ass end around stationary front wheels.

In the video, it appears that the left side wheels are rotating in a forward motion and the right side wheels are rotating in reverse.

Cool little trick.

An electric vehicle in my house is more or less inevitable. I would be happy to go to an electric truck for my work, which is very locally focused, and use my wife's SUV if we want to go on a long road trip. Those could be flipped, as my wife has been talking about wanting to replace her vehicle in the next few years, and has always liked the EV idea. If there is a decent electric car for her then, I may get it for her as stay in a ICE vehicle, but one way or another, we want to give the EV a shot.
