4Motion Diff Lock Question - Mechanical vs Electronic

[Markee]

Mine is a 2012 132kw with a mechanical diff lock operated electrically by the button the dash.
I proved this in an asphalt car park by turning it on a driving in circles, both ways, and you can hear the tyres screaming and skipping for grip.

All T5s with that button are equipped with the additional rear diff lock.

This video shows some of the benefits (YouTube is also the best place for quality builds in my opinion):

Thanks Stickshifter,
like others i was asking myself the question of to additional locker or not to additional locker. I've done a lot of sand driving a long time ago in a L300 Express 4x4 and recently in a Prado where a mechanical diff lock in my experience wasn't really needed.

The video you shared shows where it's invaluable which can sometimes be on the entry exit to those nice beaches.
I went mechanical diff lock in the end.

Thanks for the share,
