Or conversely less chance to lose all belt driven accessories when the one serpentine version breaks.
My tensioner pulley seized and shredded my only belt. Still drove fine. Just goes into limp mode and pumps air through half the cylinders to keep cool. Even towing a trailer, the batteries last 4+ hours at night with all the lights on. Steering isn't bad once you get faster than jogging speed.
On a diesel, losing the power steering means losing all brake assist-the brake booster runs off the PS pump!
