I don't trust any "SUV" that comes from the factory with plastic bumpers.
That said, there's a reason why Toyota offers a Trail Edition with factory rear lockers, because they are superior. If ATRAC could "pull it off" Toyota wouldn't have bothered offering it as an option. ATRAC also has a problem during off-camber/rock crawling, it will have a scary tendency to side-step the entire chassis, while a rear locked 3rd gen will just crawl straight ahead.
I too had a triple locked FJ80 (97) and that was a beast, the only problem was that it was too large for the trails I typically go on, but goodness it was unstoppable (mileage and power were horrible though).
If I didn't do any offroading, just fire road type driving and lots of city driving/highway cruising, the 4th is certainly more comfortable and having stability control is a nice bonus, esp. in snow/ice.
