In the drawing the axis is at the inner portion of the tread contact patch. Not being a fan of front wheel drive vehicles in general, i know that all is pretty benign until higher torque levels and reduced traction come into play. Any disruption of designed geometry will have an effect. Moving 11,000 pounds up a grade is a higher torque situation. I tolerate the FWD in the GMC as it allowed the vehicle to be what it was (too many advantages to list) but prefer RWD or driver controlled 4WD as a daily diet.
