It’s an Expedition two-wheel drive. They had a Traction-Lok limited-slip rear differential as a optional extra. An open rear differential was fitted as standard. Expedition two-wheel drives are good for towing, and long trips.

If you live in a place like this, get a Expedition 4x4, and make sur...

Even when AdvanceTrac ESC and RSC were disabled, the four-wheel electronic traction control would continue to function, even in 4LOW (lock) mode. As the traction control system can "brake lock" any of the four wheels to simulate front and rear differential locks, a Expedition 4x4 can move forward...

The video demonstrates the Explorer’s 4-wheel electronic traction control. Its programmed with variable brake logic, able to adjust its brake force (how hard it brakes the wheel(s)), and brake duration (how long it holds the wheel(s)).

It can lightly brake the slipping wheel(s) to transfer small...

Oh please! Not another "it could have been as bad as the F-150" comment.

Yes the Expedition is based on the F-150; however the F-150 that failed horribly in that infamous offset crash test was an F-150 SuperCab. Can you say or spell "SuperCab"?

The F-150 SuperCab’s doors ope...

@ctrent859 Firstly, on Toyota’s homesite, they write: "wood-grain-style", emphasis on "style". Toyota cannot describe it as real wood or that would result in blatant false advertising.

2008+ Land Cruisers have a Toyota JF2A transfer case with Torsen limited-slip centre differential and locking function, allowing it to be locked by the driver when needed. The front & rear axles have "open" differentials using ABS brake traction control, much like a standard Rang...

It did poorly as the 2011 Ram 1500 still does not have seat mounted side-impact air bags. It only has roof mounted side-curtain air bags. It needs side-impact air bags to help protect the torso area of the body.

Whenever Ram does finally add those missing side-impact air bags to the 1500, Heavy...

Toyota is not the only auto manufacturer to re-name traction control. Some examples: Volkswagen/Audi call their traction control: "Electronic Differential Lock" (EDL). Porsche calls its traction control: "Automatic Brake Differential" (ABD).

Ford, Land Rover, GM, BMW, and others tend to call th...

Was the Expedition’s full-time ControlTrac four-wheel drive in Auto, 4 High (lock), or 4 Low (lock) mode?

Does it have the optional limited-slip rear differential?

@ oedixey, thank you, finally someone with knowledge.

I’ve read countless time here on YouTube where someone would write: "lock the centre diff", "lock the centre diff, stupid". When its well known that Land Rover neutered the Discovery Series 2’s centre diff lock for 1998-2003 MY, finially bri...

@mpcollector No limited-slip diff

'05-'09 Discovery 3/LR3 and '10- Discovery 4/LR4 have open front & rear differentials standard, using 4-wheel ABS braking to transfer torque side-to-side. A infinitely-variable electronic locking center differential is standard, to transfer torque front-to-rear...

@ropoly

Wrong.

2005-2009 Discovery 3/LR3 and 2010- Discovery 4/LR4 have open front & rear differentials standard, using 4-wheel ABS braking to transfer torque side-to-side. A infinitely-variable electronic locking center differential is standard, to transfer torque front-to-rear, and is contro...

You can thank Jim Holland for that. He prefers that design language. Holland is the chief design engineer for the new Explorer. Jim was also the chief design engineer for Land Rover, overseeing the design work of the current generation Range Rover (L322).

@abhinav7333

Some of those clunking & clanking sounds are coming from the Hill Descent Control (HDC) system as the ABS brakes clamp down on the wheels, locking them temporarily for a few seconds, to "walk" the SUV down the hill. Nothing to be alarmed about.

@blackseries99 "most of the crossovers can do this ..."

True, but for how long? Most crossover SUVs that have front-wheel drive based four-wheel drive systems experience overheating of the 4x4 system, like the Hyundai Santa Fe (for example) causing their 4x4 systems to revert back to front-wh...

A beautiful 4x4, I just have two pet peeves with the 2011 models. I had grown accustom to the chunky shift knob for the Terrain Response system, why make it all push-buttons Land Rover? Why?

And the pop-up jeweled automatic gearbox shift knob? I can see it now, the owner gets in, starts the eng...

@BAflyer12

Not from the factory, no. The Range Rover in the video is a 2006 model, which means it has open front & rear differentials with a Torsen (torque sensing) limited-slip center differential (LSD). There are no locking differentials on 2003-2006 model Range Rovers. 2007-onward model Rang...

@bos6268

The 2011 Explorer has full-time Intelligent four-wheel drive, with infinitely variable front-to-rear torque distribution via a software controlled "center" (not really in the center) multi-plate clutch coupling. The front-to-rear torque distribution can be permanently locked to 50/50 b...

@fart4567

Is the transmission slipping? Um, no. You obviously have no clue as to what kind of gearbox the F-150 uses. The F-150 SVT Raptor uses the 6-speed 6R80 automatic gearbox with Smart Shift technology. Its rated to tow over 11,000 lbs (4,990 kg) in the normal F-150. Utilizing mechatronics...
