The power steering fluid reservoir on the passenger side behind the radiator would be your first clue

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Oh, I thought that was where the blinker fluid went. Thanks!

I kind of wished the steering system was electric, would theoretically be less maintenance. Had to get the power steering rack replaced recently as it was leaking. Not a cheap job.

Are any vehicles this large full electric by now? I know there are hybrid Tahoe’s but assumed they use an electric pump for an otherwise hydraulic system when the ICE is shut down.
