Patent concept of pickup truck

All-wheel steering system is not a new technology recently. This function was developed as early as 1980s, but it has not been widely used because of its high technical level and relatively high manufacturing cost. At present, Porsche 9 1 1, Bugatti Veyron and Lamborghini Huracan all include this technology? Top sports cars such as Evo, or other heavy trucks and giant engineering trucks are used to improve the maneuverability of vehicles in narrow spaces and reduce the turning radius.

Now, Ford is thinking about how to apply this technology to its pickup products. On February 20 19, Ford filed a patent application for this technology. The purpose of this patent is to apply the four-wheel steering system to Ford heavy pickup truck. The patent also mentions Ackerman steering geometry, which is a geometry that prevents the inner and outer tires from rotating around different centers when turning.

If Ford applies this technology, it can avoid the extra resistance of the road to the car and the excessive wear of the tires when the car turns, so as to improve the handling and improve the handling, then the vehicle performance of Ford F series pickup trucks will be qualitatively improved.
