2016 LEXUS LX 570 with rear locker?

[Crux]

Saw this article on Four Wheeler magazine about the new 2016 Lexus 570:

2016 LEXUS LX 570 SUV DEBUTS
http://www.fourwheeler.com/news/1508-2016-lexus-lx-570-suv-debuts/

"The rear differential can be locked when off-road providing traction over challenging surfaces."


Is that true? Is the 2016 Lexus going to be released with a real rear locker?

 

[kreiten]

my guess is that is a mistake on their part...

That's definitely a mistake/typo. Probably referring to the center "diff".

Aside from the possible locking rear diff, there are a LOT of upgrades listed in that article. Infotainment is finally on par for the class and an 8 speed tranny should help with MPGs. Is it worth trading in my 2010?

From Lexus Pressroom:

"Off-road, the driver can lock the center differential for driving over challenging surface conditions."

You would think a magazine like "FOURWHEELER" would know the difference between a center and rear locker! lol
