I’ve not been disappointed yet when ABS kicked in in my previous 4Runners. Sadly my 04 Jeep Grand Cherokee preformed better in ice and snow than any of the three 4Runners have. The Quadra track Jeep was a snowmobile with rubber tires. The Limited 04 Jeep with Quadra-Drive was unstoppable. It had hydraulic lockers in each axle plus one in the transfer case between the two axles.

Sounds like you're driving to fast or braking too late.
As for a center diff lock.... that's really for all wheel drive vehicles where the center is always running power to front and rear - then needs to be locked to ensure power is delivered to both axles in low traction events.
When a true transfercase is shifted from 2wd to 4wd, the gear change "locks" 4wd in the same way.
The 3rd gens (at least the J shift I have) works this way. My 01 LX470 is full time 4wd with a center locking diff - but it's really not a "feature" per day. F/R lockers can be useful in snow and is the only reason my old 93 LC was better than the LX in the snow.
