Maybe the steel wheel won't corrode the way the aluminum ones do. I have had a ton of problems with the tire shop not being able to keep the spare from corroding and leaking.

Bottom Line on the Center Differential
So what is the bottom line on the center differential in the SR5?

I have taken one for a test drive, and it doesn't feel like it's binding up on corners like a locked transfer case would. I can't imagine that it's an open differential as that would just about be useless. The in between option is a limited slip differential, but the sales literature supposedly rules that out.

Has anyone done any thorough hands-on testing?

There is no center differential in the SR5; both front drive shaft and rear drive shaft are locked together, i.e. rotate at the same speed, when in 4x4 mode.
