Locking Axles

Does Ford offer any truck models with locking front and rear axles? Thanks

That was one thing that made me think twice about Chevy. Chevy offers a locking rear axle not Limited Slip like Ford. When I looked at the 2004 F150's all sales people told me limited slip was all I could get on any axle that Ford makes. If you want a true 4x4 with front an rear lockers stock you'll have to go with the Jeep Rubicon.

The Power Wagon Returns this fall. I was told by a Ford guy that the FX4 was the same thing. I was just checking.

The Rubicon is a good deal, because it would cost more money to build it then it does to buy it. It has a 4 to 1 transfer case and front and rear lockers. This fall a Rubicon Unlimited will also be avaliable.

Yeah i m sure rubicon is sweet, but once the jeep rubicon hit the trails,and break something then its void warranty..kind of stupid but oh well.

Front rubicon axle isnt that stronger.. it re-use Dana 30 kunckles, outer axleshaft.
ONly true Dana 44 is centersection and ring/pinion.

Get REAL front High Pinion 44 LOL!

I used to own TJ front/rear dana 44 heavy duty w/ Dana 300 4-1. Love this combo!!

Wow, that new power wagon is pretty sweet i have to say...what is the MSRP on one of those?? How come Ford doesn't do something like that to cater to the offroad enthusiast??? The FX4's offroad capability stock is decent but doesnt allow you to get too serious.....And how about a GT-40 or suped-up lightning engine powered supercab/crewcab truck to compete with the SRT-10????? Comeon Ford....... i wouldnt be ashamed to own both a powerwagon and my FX4
