Default Front Differential

What kind of differential is in the front of the current generation F-150s (open, limited-slip, etc.)?

I'm specifically curious about my 2010 F-150 FX4. It's got the electronic locking rear diff, but I can't seem to find what it is in the front.

Thanks.

the raptor is the only model in the f150 lineup with a locking front diff.

I think it is only the rear that is locking on the Raptor and FX4, but in the Raptor you can engage the rear locker in 2WD?

oops, u are correct, I didn't listen to the promo vid close enough then...

& if u think about it, a locked front diff wouldn't steer very well in a truck. my grandpa's 4 wheeler has one & is a bear to steer when it's all locked in.
