4WD Yukons will be able to perform "hurricane turns" on loose surfaces, similar to Rivian's tank turn feature.

I read that yesterday. What I can't quite figure out is, who needs their SUV to do really tight donuts? Tighter normal turning circle, for easier parking? Makes perfect sense to me. Spinning around in sand/snow/mud? Not so much.

A part of me thinks that this was the truck/SUV traction control guys being a bit jealous of their performance car brethren & the 'flying car' mode developed a few years ago. They wanted a 'cool feature' of their own, and this is what they came up with.
