Heavy rain? Mud? Ice? No problem.

The automatic locking rear wheel differential reacts to wheel speed differences. That means it 'senses' when one wheel is stuck or slipping and transfers torque to the wheel with the best traction. When a rear wheel loses traction (only at speeds under about 35 km/h) and its speed exceeds the other wheel by around 100 rpm, a speed sensor, or governor, triggers a cam system that activates multiple disc clutches.



Once the automatic locking rear wheel differential is engaged, equal power is distributed to both rear wheels, and they'll remain locked until your truck is up and out. Then when the need for improved traction is gone, unlocking occurs automatically.

Get the traction you want as soon as you need it

Automatic locking takes place within a fraction of a second, so smoothly that it's unnoticed by the average driver. It enhances towing and off-road performance, plus it's maintenance free. The need for special lubricants, as well as undesirable driveline noises (clutch engagement), is eliminated with the use of carbon fibre friction plates.



The automatic locking rear wheel differential gives your truck best-in-class traction. So the next time you're thinking about taking an off-road short cut, don't hesitate.
