But look at my post again, these systems are for folks who do not know how to handle a vehicle in snowy/wet conditions. The vehicle does it for you instead of the driver having to pay attention to driving and not the cell phone. However, locking hubs and all wheels turn at the same speed is great for off road. I agree with that because I have used it before. 1978 Ford Bronco...what a beast.

Limited slip is interesting isn't it? My 68 Torino GT Fatback had 4:11 posi gears in the pumpkin, and was a blast in the snow. I could actually light up the big 305/15s on the backend.

Those old Bronco's were cool. I had my Mom's 79 XLT Ranger version with the 4speed, I think it was a Warner T19? In 4 Low, it could climb a hill like an old Willys Jeep. It was great for hunting season too. You could pack out a butchered bull elk in that thing. Best engine in it was the 351 Cleveland V-8. That thing could pull some weight.

I had posi traction on my 80 Lincoln. Yep, fun in the snow. Never got stuck with it.
