Factory Torsen REAR differential (1 Viewer)

[bjowett]

Toyota added the option of a Torsen rear diff to some late model 150 Series in non- North American markets. Part number for the differential is 41301-60200, which can be purchased in the low to mid $1k range. The complete diff chunk is also available with it, but only with 3.73 and 3.90 ratios.

Torsen and brake actuated traction control are a great combo.

Do you know what is the difference on 18+ prado rear diff? For some reason ARB did not list rear locker nor front locker for 2017+ model. The US version seem to stay the same. Nor sure if that means they convert to 8.75 diff same as Tacoma, Hilux and Fourtuner.

The gasket for the diff housing appears to be the same right up through, so I’m not sure if there is a meaningful difference for the 2018 and up model.

Wow! Just learned something this morning.
Never heard of nor new about "Torsen" differentials.
Here is a great explanation behind the mechanicals of it.

Very cool technology!

Your center differential is a Torsen-C differential.

It’s still the same BD21 series diff.

Not sure where you are getting your information but ARB lockers certainly fit in my 2018 GX.

Not talking about North American model. I know they still use 8.2 diff. I ask some Australian Prado owner and the housing look a bit different. There is a bit massive trusses under the housing. I need to find that picture again.

If you go to ARB Australia, no locking diff are available for 2017+ model.

There are HD spec housings w/ gussets on some models, still the 8.2.

Need to find the part number for it. Might be able to order one from overseas easily.

Quick search, please verify….

The elocker version are available. The non elocker are much harder to find.
You could see the truss underneath. Makes the axle housing stronger but also can Rob ground clearance.

 

[URJ150L]

So the bottom of the housing to the left and fight of the differential housing are the gussets on the HD version?

Crazy timing on that post

Did you just import one. Yes the brace are the truss. They make it less likely to bend under heavy load.

Are there any differences between one used for KDSS equipped 150 series Prados?

The HD housing does not seem to have KDSS bracket. But they are very easy to make.

 

[bjowett]

Good catch. I’ll dig a little further to see if a KDSS version with coil springs exists. They exist for air suspension.

Not available but when it becomes available its not terribly expensive.
