Default electronic rear diff locker

I've got a new to me 2020 Screw XLT Sport 4x4. Looking in the owners manual it says you can pull out on the 2H, 4H, 4L dial to engage the locker. My dial does not pull out. Does that mean I don't have the locker? I thought I read that all the 2020 XLT 4x4's came with an e-locker. Any thoughts?

According to the MY2020 F150 Order Guide, ELD is an option on trucks of all trims except the Limited and Raptor, which get ELD as standard equipment. I've looked at the 2020 Sales Brochure and it is not well presented there.

Like mentioned already, it's an option on all except the limited + raptor. Simplest way to tell.................There are variations of this dial, but if you don't have that little "pull" sign with the 4 wheels, you don't have an elocker.

The E-Locker is the only add on I wish my 2018 XLT had, it does not.

Well, that answers that question. I don't have e-locker. Bummer. Thanks.

I was told that the FX4 package included the E-Locker. Is that incorrect?

Yes. FX4 (Code 55A) includes ELD even if you get an optional rear gear ratio (from MY2020 Oder Guide).

52Merc,

Thanks for the clarification. Assuming you're still in Canada, this helps even more. I purchased an '18 in FL that was originally a CA truck. From the pic attached (taken at the dealer's lot), I was expecting to get ELD but to my surprise, the truck doesn't even have the FX4 package. I'm still talking to the dealer but I'll be posting this in a new thread later today. PISSED!

I've always found the way to understand what drive line options you have is to look at the 4x4 selector ****. I realize there is other stuff that comes with FX4 package, but this **** is where I always start when looking at a purchase. If there's no "4A", then no electronic transfer case. If there's no "Pull" indicator, no locking dif. You can buy FX4 stickers on ebay for $15...don't trust the sticker.

I understand "Caveat Emptor". As a chevy owner for the past 30 years, I thought I did my due-diligence. I simply trusted the local Ford dealership and my complaints fall on deaf ears. My bad.
