Ram did it!

Which means absolutely nothing....what because an F150 has cv axles its not allowed to have a locker lol. Ford could easily do it on there trucks too... and if you still think it matters the Super Duty is solid axle too. The rear ELD in these trucks is worthless by its programmed limitations. The Raptor programming is way better... but won't transfer over.

If a person doesn't know how to use a front locker... well they probably won't know how to engage it. And no doubt in stock form if done by Ford it would only work under 10 mph and in 4 low...because it would be electric too like the rear. Which in a front especially would be a must for a street sold new truck.

Not that it will ever happen though so who cares lol.

Decades ok I had to pull a boat up a seaweed and algae covered ramp (ocean access) with a station wagon. Lots of revving, playing with emergency brake, etc. I'd love to try that now with my F-150 and ELD.

I was only stating a fact, not trying to start an argument.

I have an '08 f150 that we installed an Eaton ELocker in in the front axle in 150,000 miles ago. So I know what CVs can handle. It is just easier to keep a solid axle together with a locker than an ifs.

My next truck im going back to standard shift with a shifter for the transfer case. With the electronic 4x4 I dont have the ablity to keep it in 2wd but put the trnasfer case into low gear to really get that pulling power.

Wouldn't putting it in Manual and selecting the gears or putting it in Tow/Haul mode do effectively the same thing?

Nope. At least not that I could tell. It probably didn't help that I had 7 people in the back of my truck too.. If you constantly find yourself in very soft areas or crossing ditches diagonally, the locker is worth every penny.
