I guess it might actually be worth something for a 2WD. I found it interesting that the trucks with traction control did better than the ones with lockers. Check it out and voice you opinion.

I was wondering how my 2wd liberty was making it through the snow

Yeah pretty sure if I had the money Id have a diesel power wagon.

If i won the lottery i would want the diesel powered Ram Power Wagon... Awesome truck with a lot of features, SFA and electronic lockers front and rear and an integrated winch in the front, sweet...

Anyway, since i doubt i will win the lottery i will stick with my KJ.

Oh and watch out on the Toyota doing tests like that, the throttle might stick.. LMAO

Do they make a diesel power wagon? I am not sure. The weight of that 6BT up front is known to cause 4wd rams to bury themelves, or at least that was an issue 10 years ago.

Couldnt find the power wagon on dodges site but I built a 2500 diesel. Fully loaded its 57k!! Thats insane! The diesel option alone is 8k!

Yeah, but it buys you an extra 800,000 miles of engine longevity

I think they need to define "challenged by the slippery surface they were on" when referring to mechanically engaged lockers. I mechanical locking diff acts as a spool when engaged, so please explain this to me. Doesn't sound like a true locker to me so don't let this video mislead you.

 

[ThunderbirdJunkie]

cuatro, it was disengaged. that is why the truck had issues.

NONE of those trucks had REAL lockers
Detroit and ARB make REAL lockers
if any 1 of them had a locker this would have been a nonissue
they would have had near 0 wheel spin

I know for sure that my TJ or ANY LOCKED rear drive any thing could easily go up that
