4X4's with Locking Differentials??
Just a quick question on the SUVs offered with locking differentials, from the 90s or 00s.
What other ones have a locking diff?
heres what i came up with:
Jeep Rubicon ( front and rear)
Mercedes G Wagen (front, center, rear)
Dodge Power Wagon (front and rear)
'92-'97 Toyota Landcruiser/Lexus LX450 (front and rear)
1998+ Toyota Landcruiser/Lexus LX470 (center)
2001+ Chevy Tahoe Z71 (automatic locking rear)
Hummer H1 (front and rear)
Hummer H2 and H3 (rear)
IMHO I think that fully automatic lockers like in the Tahoe are stupid as well as having just rear lockers. But hey i guess its better than not having any at all.

As far as hard-core offroading goes, I would think that having Front/Rear lockers would be better than having just a center locker. Right?

Well i do drive the QX4 but i only had it for a few months, but i know for sure the center diff locks, so it distributes power equally to the front and rear, but i'm not so sure about them individually. mine has 2wd, then auto(which if the turck feels the rear slipping and not grabbing it puts power to the front, trust me u can feel this lol), 4hi locks the center, and then also 4lo which also locks.
i've benn in two big snow storms with this thing in New Englang and have never gotten stuck where everyone else has, i've gone through snow more then a foot deep no problem in 4hi. plus i have taken it off roading, i love the thing i can never get it stuck, me and my dad ave tried it's like impossible.
