I believe the manual transmission is full time AWD.

manual IS fulltime 4WD............torsen/locking center

automatic is part time 4WD

The manual transmission models also come with the rear diff lock as a standard feature, unlike the automatics

Yep what you guys said, I own an 07, 6 spd fulltime 4wd

The rear diff lock is available for the automatics so its not an issue in either. The buyer just has to be smart enough to make sure the FJC they are buying has the rear diff lock installed...

How do you make sure?

The rear diff lock for the automatics used to be part of an upgrade package in Canada, although it is now a standard feature on both transmissions.

Best way to check is the same as on an 80. Stick your head under there and look at the rear axle

Wouldnt it be easier to just look for the button.......or read the window sticker thing

I thought we were talking about the rear locker? If I were buying something used, I'd crawl underneath to verify. There have been a couple unscrupulous sellers who just plugged switch blanks with switches but had no locker. There are wires with connectors there but without the locker, it won't work (obviously)...

If you're buying new off a Toyota lot, yes.

X2 on checking it out when buying used. I seem to recall a couple incidences in the 80s section of buyers getting a fancy switch with nothing to back it up
