At 3:45, and 4:55, that Tacoma TRD has an manually enabled locking rear diff, put it in 4L and push the little lock button and it locks. But that detail aside, nice demo of the G80. Edit --> To their credit, they did mention the locker in the Tacoma at the very end.
Glad someone found nally said it Locks both wheels instead of just transferring all the power to the opposite wheel. Was always curious about that, and nobody seemed to explain how it was different than a limited slip differential. Thank you
Basically, a limited slip has clutches. This differential has a weight that flings out and locks the wheels together. That’s why people hate the G80 it has a tendency to explode under certain circumstances.
I didn't notice any front wheel-spin during the water trough simulation on the competitor trucks. only on the 4WD canyon did I see front wheel-spin. Seems like they either "Forgot" to engage 4WD on the competitor trucks just to make the canyon look better, or the 4WD system on the competitor trucks is rear-biased, in which case I wouldn't even call it a true 4WD system, seems more like an AWD system at that point. Probably the former if I had to guess.
My old 740 Turbo wagon would roost mud on the right side, and smoke the left hand tire on the road, every time. She was a good old girl, with a G80 in the D30 rear diff.
The term 4 wheel drive is very deceptive. They should all have lockers front and rear. It doesnt make sense why they work the way they do at all, i mean obviously you dont need power to the wheels that dont have traction. You need power to the wheels that are on the freaking ground. Duh
completely unfair comparison. All those other trucks offer a limited slip rear diff. Doesn't make sense if you use the competitors trucks without the limited slip option. And the use the Z71 posi Colorado.
That's because the competition doesn't offer lockers my dude, that's the point except for the tacoma it does offer lockers and in theory is better but it's not automatic.
@@dannyquijada1797 The Tacoma is an on/off (push button) locker that only works in 4L. I drove a Tacoma TRD 4x4 (manual) for 17 years, loved that truck, it went everywhere and the locker was great off-road. I now have a Colorado diesel 4x4 with the G80 and on-road the G80 is worlds better than the Tacoma diff, or easy-ish off-road where you're not using 4L. Off-road where 4L would be appropriate the Tacoma locker is better because you can lock the diff right from the start, you don't have to spin the wheels first to get it to lock. This is especially better in situations where you don't want any wheel spin. So it's a bit of a trade-off. I personally drive more on-road these days and the G80 is great, such as turning wet slippery corners, or pulling onto the highway from the side of the road. In those situations my old Tacoma would just spin one wheel like crazy. But I did end up in one situation in soft sugar sand with the Colorado where I was missing the manual locker in the Tacoma. Life is about compromise..

This is the best g80 demonstration video ever made.
watch what happens when we don't turn on the rear diff lock on the Tacoma, and then when we see the Colorado with the optional locking rear diff.
Glad my t-10 has them
Imagine ordering a z71 without 4x4...
4
There are a bunch of trd off road tacomas that are 2wd
Mine has Z71, 4x4, and a G80 my other truck has Z71, 4x4, and 2 electric lockers that engage when 4x4 is engaged
Mines a 4X2 Z71 it does really well

And here’s the Toyota Tacoma getting nowhere fast.
That toyota happens to have an elocker that they forgot to showcase.
Unlike the ford and dodge.
@@DavidToyotaHead13 They did show it at the end

For many, even 2wd is deceptive. How is it I have 2wd when only one wheel is spinning and I find myself stuck on wet grass?
Was thinking of making joke but I changed my mind
Wondering if ram will revive the Dakota

They didn't take the trucks the the right as far in the twist ditch
At least on the water trough
On the twist dich they cheated
