Automatic Locking Rear Differential
When rear-wheel slippage is detected at lower speeds, the available GM segment exclusive(1) automatic locking rear differential allows additional traction on snow, mud and ice, or even a wet boat ramp. If one of the rear wheels has traction while the other does not, the locking rear axle automatically sends power to the wheel with grip to move the vehicle. Locking rear differential benefits include:
- Enhanced performance for on- and off-road driving and towing
- Full lockup for maximum drive power to both rear wheels
- Fully automatic engagement
- Speed-sensitive actuation, which provides axle lockup when one wheel spins faster than the other
