When I turn the wheels of my trump sharply it feels like it struggles to move. This just started.

is it 4x4? If so, perhaps the 4 wheel mode is not disengaged…

Or, if e-locker rear differential, might be locked.  
Any warning lights on?

My fun car with a spool is crazy hard to roll with the wheels turned…

So yeah, if the rear end is locked, will drag bad when turning, but also can/will do that if stuck in 4x4…
