Front and rear diff locks or just centre diff lock

When I see a Grenadier without the optioned lockers, it makes me think about my sister buying a 2WD Wrangler in the late 2000’s (yes, they made them for a few years) because “it was a couple thousand less and she wasn’t going to take it off road”. 4-5 years later when she went to sell it, it was a really tough sell.

You might only use them a few times, but I feel like having them or not will impact resale value by more than the factory cost of $2000, so it’s like they pay for themselves (guy math )

Hi ,recently purchased a pre registered fieldmaster ( del miles 10)without lockers. After over 25 years of various Hilux ownership were I seldom engaged low four wheel drive gear .So it was obvious I didn’t need them. Fully accepted the resale value would be hit by there omission, if only because it ruled out a portion of an already limited potential list of future buyers. Hence it is vital you buy at the right price. My vehicle configured at around £85000 but the final agreed purchase price started with a 5 . I cannot fault my grenadier and feel it is a “keeper “ I would advise you go ahead with your purchase but try to buy as keenly as you can.

That is a lifestyle statement. Chances are, you could easily get by without a Hilux, either.

Accepted, I suspect the grenadiers days are numbered if they can’t attract more buyers than the “off road “ crowd. There is nothing wrong with enjoying other attributes of the vehicle than its “off road “ ability. 350000 working miles in three different Hilux variants probably suggests I did need them.

The problem i see with no lockers is that the traction control is so far behind today’s standards. This vehicle really shines with lockers. Without lockers it would need better traction control. I think it works better the other way. With good traction control lockers are often unnecessary. .

This weekend on a trail run, I ran almost 90% of it CDL. The time I put rear on was in areas that had me going up steep hill with loose rocks. Guy behind me did the trip in a 1994 Defender with only center locker. In those same sections as me, he gunned it to get up the hill.

I rather have them and use them very little versus, need them and not have them. Now if I was driving off road maybe once a year, I would skip them.
