We do not recommend fitting a Locker to a vehicle that tows as the weight of the trailer may cause excessive noise & understeer when cornering.
The Truetrac (whilst not a locking diff) is very effective & durable & is much smoother in operation.
If the customer wants to tow & do some 'hard core' off roading then we suggest he consider fitting a manual air locker to the rear.
Fitting a Truetrac to both front & rear would be a v.good option, giving good traction with good driveability

Re: rear diff lock

Why do you want a diff lock ? Seems like the dealer just wants to sell you their make/product. I dont see why a lockker would make a noise , I had one in a V6 Forrunner and didnt hear anything . Well mabee a a slight cliking in a very quiet car park with the wheels on full lock , but normally you wont hear it. Made a HUGE difference to the car off road.
