This is a feature that should only be used for off-roading. Off roads, it is extremely useful to be able to make small-radius turns.
A 4 ton thing doing this on the trails I go on would destroy them.
I hope people don't actually do it.
In my past times off-roading, trails and dirt roads have usually been very generous with places to turn. Not so much when you are off a trail or a road.
Exactly, and unless you are on private property or BLM land you are also generally not supposed to be driving off the trails or roads. So there isn't much use for this other than on private property or on BLM land.
