Hey all,
Before posting, I want to preface that I do understand the difference between AWD and 4X4. Sometime in my past I was seriously into off-roading. My rig had a mechanically shifted 2hi/4hi/4lo, and I understand why wheel slippage is important unless you enjoy a bound-up drivetrain.
I was reading this article and was wondering... Isn't this the same setup (using different technology) that 4th Gen 4x4 runners have? It's my understanding that our trucks can be in 4 wheel drive full time, but with the differentials locked it gives true 4x4 ability.

Edit: I just read the comments and someone beat me to it.
I guess there's just nothing new under the sun, is there?
