Moral of the story is if you don't go wheelin' like these guys all you'll ever need is A-trac. Unless you are actively putting yourself into sticky (and fun) situations, all you need for the zombie apocalypse is basic 4x4 with A-trac.

I bought the Sport Tacoma simply because adding lockers defeats the purpose of MTS / A-TRAC, and I plan on adding lockers. It was also 4k less than the OR msrp (toyotathon), so after I add the lockers I'll be on par with the price of a stock OR, but much much more capable. Only issues now are the lack of the electric brake booster, and slightly smaller pumpkin. That being said, neither is really "required" and I think an extra 0.75" in the Dif wouldn't really justify the extra cost with both trims in front of me. Considering I payed $35,450 out the door on my 21' Sport 4x4, I think it worked out extremely well. Especially now that the truck is somehow worth over $45K. Markets are nuts atm.. Great vid, love the simple explanation OPN

The MSRP is exactly the same between the OR and Sport 'IF' you configure them the same. With the difficulty in the market today it may be hard to locate them though and have to buy whatever is available.

Thank you so much for this explanation. I got to use ATRAC while wheeling with my 13' 4Runner Trail and my buddy with a 2001 Durango. The Durango struggled to make it up a rock climb when one of his tires lifted off the ground, and he had to try several times to finally get the right spot to go up. Me watching him struggle i put it in 4L and enabled ATRAC and went up the same route he struggled over. As soon as my wheel lifted ATRAC activated, braked that lifted wheel, and I drove up the section no problem. Its an amazing off road feature to combine with rear-locking diffs and the others.

Really good explanations. I am new to 4x4 and just started using ATRAC and was wondering about MTS and this video explains it really well. I think I need to head to an SVRA to play around and apply some of what you shared. I am also thinking I should add front lockers - that seems the most powerful option.

@OverlandPNW

2 жыл бұрын

I love my ARB front air locker. It engages instantly. E-lockers almost never instantly engage. You have to drive forward and sometimes backward to get them to engage. Air-lockers also can be engaged while driving. The ARB info on it states: "An ARB Air Locker can be engaged at any speed as long as both wheels are spinning at the same rate." You want to be very cautious with this because if one wheel is spinning faster than the other, what is called “crash locking” will occur and can cause damage. That said, I use this feature all the time off-roading. I engage and disengage on the fly as needed. I also have engaged the front air locker as needed while driving over the pass on snowy roads. I'm not sure how fast I was going but probably 35-40 mph. For me, this is a huge advantage over e-lockers. So, I agree that adding a front air locker is probably the best. But, it really all depends on your driving style. For the average off-roader or overlander, A-TRAC and MTS will handle almost anything you get into.

Just bought a 4runner off road a month ago and was thinking that if get stuck I dont even know how to work the off road system. I never even knew what the a trac was. Ive had a few 4 wd trucks and love the idea of a transfer case lever and a locker but Im glad you explained this.

Really good video! From the moment you said "an open diff splits the torque 50/50" I knew it would be a proper run through, I don't know why so many people get that wrong and think a locked diff is a 50/50 split? I guess it is hard to visualise that locked rotational speed does not equate to the same power/torque going to each wheel. That said, what this video shows is that nothing beats a good set of lockers. I wonder what all these systems cost to implement compared to simply adding a factory option for front and rear lockers to the relevant cars? For a novice I suppose it is easier to use a locker at the wrong time, or forget to turn it off and damage your drivetrain.

@rangerover06sc

@geepuller1 The problem with LSDs is that they are exactly that, limited slip, they don't stop slip. Where lockers do. But traction control can as well. Its way more effective at controlling wheel speed differences. Torsens often dont cant control wheelspeed at all. So when one wheel leaves the ground it just keeps spinning. And no enough torque is generated to actually activate the LSD. Thats why vehicles with traction control can sometimes preform better than vehicles with LSDs. That's why so many vehicles switched away from them to traction control. But nothing beats a fully locked 4WD system though

Thank you for making this understandable. Perfect explanation.

Nice explanation of MTS. I have a GX470 which is essentially the same a a 4th gen 4R. I have been able to use Atrac in both 4H and 4L. Not sure why you're only able to use it in 4L. Maybe because the GX is full-time AWD, then 4WD when we turn on the CDL. For me, instead of looking at the speedo keeping it under 5mph, I think it's simpler to look at the RPM and keep it under 2k RPM, which has worked well for me. And if I need that wheel spin in mud/sand/snow, I'd just go past the 2k RPM. Great video.

Would love to see a follow up to this video with a GX following along. I’d be game but I’m on the east coast. According to the manual. Active TRAC (TractionControl) for L4 position* Helps to maintain drive power and prevent the 4 wheels from spinning when starting the vehicle or accelerating on slippery roads, or in off-road conditions. *but there is a footnote! The function only works in vehicles with Multi-terrain Select when Multi-terrain Select is switched on. Not all GX’s have MTS. And we may not always have it turned on. There is no ATRAC in 4 High only “TRAC”

That said, I 'm looking to try some difficult trails the the Carolinas , I've done some easy ones and looking to do more moderate trails, but wanted to get some expert knowledge by video before I run out there and tear up my rig. 20189 TRD Off Premium. Like I said, I'm green to all of this, so the language at t his time is my stumbling block, changing modes on the fly or in neutral or full stop....'m learning the terminology. Thanks for sharing

I had the exact same experience as you: I could find any good information on A-TRAC/MTS and the manual was not very useful. It was so difficult to find decent, reliable info on A-TRAC/MTS. So, this video is really the culmination of my own learning curve gleaned from all the tech data I could find. I did have a Toyota mechanic send me a note. He said that the video was accurate and that he could not have done a better job, which was a very nice thing to say. Thanks for taking time to leave a comment, wheel safe and cheers!

@@OverlandPNW The MTS/ A-TRAC systems and Crawl Control simply use the brakes to control wheel spin, thereby transferring torque to the wheel that needs it most. I found it fascinating that there are no physical differences in parts for the different trim levels to support those systems, other than the electric brake booster. Even the standard trac on SR5's 4x4 are impressive when put in a pickle.

Went from a fully built 1999 100 series to a 2011 GX460. The Land Cruiser had a factory rear locker but no ATRAC. Had to step away from wheeling for a few years but recently took the GX 460 to an off-road park for the first time and was completely blown away with ATRAC. I was following built rigs on 35"s and made it up everything they did with a 2" lift on 33"s. At the end of the day I realized I DID NOT have the center diff locked the entire time I was out there. I just had it in 4 low with all diffs open and ATRAC just pulled me up and over everything. I had initially planned to add lockers but at this point I am just going to add MTS and Crawl Control and call it done. The software is truly impressive and even in tough situations I'm sure it will do everything I need it to.

Big thanks for the comment! I just watched your video Dispersed Camping on Mt. Adams. That was one of those absolutely pristine Pacific Northwest days where everything seems to be alive with color. Campsites don't get views better than that one!

Thank you, very helpful.

Thanks 👍. I just watched your Tool Rethink video. That was a great topic! I think I add extra tools on every trip. I probably have more tools in the vehicle than in the shop now ha !

Nicely done! Very detailed explanation. Nice setup having a front locker. I wonder how the vehicle performed with just the rear locker engaged.

Thanks and good question! We did not try it with just the rear locker but my guess is that it would have made it up. Hey great job on that ladder installation video! I just watched it.
