But to say that and X isn't a true 4wd truck because it lacks lockers is rediculous. The Mercedes G-Wagen , Hummer H1 (possibly H2) and the Jeep Rubicon (Does the new Tourag have them? I think so.)(I know toyota trucks have an electronic locker available but isn't it only front?) are probably the few domestically available vehicles with factroy installed front and rear lockers.
Yeah the H1 (I think 2000 and after), G-Wagen and Rubicon are the only three vehicles that comes with a true triple locker system straight from the factory. The pre-96 or 97 Landcruisers, before they added the independent front suspension, also had 3 lockers. The H2 and Tourag only have rear lockers, but the front uses some sort of fancy traction stuff. The Prerunners only have a locker in the back also.

It's funny because in some artical I read, I think the Globe and Mail car section, one editor actually called the Rubicon's locker system primative and outdated. I guess most people now thinks that all the facy traction control is better than true lockers. But for real offroad stuff, lockers are the only way to go. All those fancy traction stuff often become confused in tough situations, another proof that computers can never outsmart their creators.

Oh yeah, BTW, I think LandRover totally screwed up the new RangeRover. Instead of keeping the solid axels, and adding some locker, they put independent suspension all around and added some fancy computer traction shit.
