Which packages have a locker?

Have a 2020, thinking about keeping mine or trying a new tundra does the new tundra have a locker ? If so at what package level does it come with it.

 

Off road package

 

So as long as you get the off road package you get it, doesn’t have to be a trd pro ?

 

Correct.

 

X marks the spot.

 

Remember it only works in 4low. If you live in an area where it snows you can’t use it in 2wd or 4hi for driving around town when streets are slick. Awesome that they finally offer it for serious off roading.

 

I'm guessing 99% of owners of Gen 3 Tundras that have lockers never use them.

Eurodriver might be the rare exception, if he had them.

Ohh well that’s stupid.

 

Well I didn’t know it was 4 low only that really saddens me. Sometimes I just need to lock the rear up. Well regear and locker in my 2020 is looking more likely. Thanks everyone.

 

Well, you'll be missing out on a cracked seat panel.

 

What driving conditions would you need to lock up in anything but 4Low?

 

Muddy roads while hunting or off-roading I just want a locker to use whenever I want.

 

Agreed. My 2020 sr5 is all I want. I usually upgrade my suspension myself anyway.

 

I was very bummed to learn afterwards it’s only active in 4low. Maybe someday we can hack that! I used it often on my 16’Taco whenever I wanted/needed it (at low speed)

 

Even Fords locker works on 4hi, grant you below 20 mph…..

 

Past Toyota trucks, Land Cruiser and FJ Cruisers did too. Have been curious if it’s the due to the higher torque on this new motor.

 

I had a locker in my '19 4Runner. I was off road almost weekly, and used the locker once, to test that it actually worked. If I was rock crawling, I might have used it frequently but it wasn't necessary for my uses.

 

You could bypass that function in the 4Runner with a little creative wiring.

 

Hopefully the same can be done eventually with this 3rd gen Tundy

 

My old boss had a 2013 F-150 FX4. The locker would work in 2wd also. He would use that since it's quicker than 4 low to shift.

 

My fully mechanical locker was awesome in my Samurai. It was always on so driving around on pavement was fun!

I haven’t used my locker in the Tundra since new (13 months). I think the 4H/4L system seems clunky to get into let alone the locker. I don’t know if I would have gotten the TRD package now but I really like the cameras!

When I tried it to see how it worked it seemed to get stuck and wouldn’t let go. After about 15 mins rolling forward and backwards it let go and I could shift out of 4L.

 

Drive faster so you don't need a locker. Let momentum do the work. Duh.

 

Try turning the wheel a bit one way or the other when releasing 4WD or the locker. One side rotating faster than the other pops it right out.
