Are locking differentials necessary in a hunting rig? Thoughts from guys that don't have locking differentials?
My Tacoma has an electronic rear locker (only available in 4 Low) that I've used only for the sake that I've had it available. My previous rig had the optional automatic locking differential. We know BigFin says yes and chooses his rigs with that in mind. He also gets himself in some spots that most probably would avoid.
My disappointment with my Tacoma has me looking at other trucks. Most trucks I've looked at don't have locking differentials and those that do are becoming exceedingly expensive because you have to buy the fancy package to get it.
So is not having a locking differential a deal breaker?
