I'm somewhat embarrassed to admit that I do not really understand the difference between the OEM "Limited-Slip Differential", and the Optional "Traction-Lock", available as OEM on the Next Upgraded Model's Release Date, scheduled in late Fall.
I've placed an Order for a replacement Marauder, as soon as these next Fall Models can be delivered, for the Main purpose of getting the new "Traction-Lock" (i.e. "Traction Control"), for Severe Winter Driving here in Northern Indiana. Plus, I preferred an OEM Moon Roof, Heated Seats, and Lighter Leather Trim Panels.
Yet my Delivering Salesman swears that for better traction in Rain, Snow, or Ice, that the currently standard OEM "Limited-Slip" Rear Axle, is much more prefered. While I do not neccessarily dispute him, this reasoning seems to me, to defy Logic!
I've always relied on my other New Cars equipped with "Traction-Control" in Severe Winter Driving, because of the Computer-Enhanced Traction-Control. This fact probably also explains why it will become Standard OEM Equipment on the New Models to produced in November.
How about some insight into this issue?
