Chevy Silverado 1500 units equipped with the 3.0L I6 turbodiesel Duramax engine are turning quickly on dealer lots, GM Authority has learned.

The turning circle at Gifford and Division was built in the 1990s as a traffic slowing device and to discourage truck traffic, resident Pat Segel told The Courier-News.

The rear-wheel steering does keep the turning circle at a pretty reasonable 42.2 feet, though. Like other Silverado EVs, charging speed depends on which battery pack is equipped.

City crews this week are tearing up a controversial turning circle in the Elgin Historic District and returning it to a four-way intersection.
