how to use locker on 3rd Gen 2wd TRD Off Road

Hello TW,
this may sound like a dumb question but screw it going to ask!

How do I use my rear locker? I push the button located at the top in my 3RD gen but the light on the dash turns on and off right away.

Not sure why, but can someone explain to me why this happens? And what the rear locker on a 2WD is used for ??


Thanks,

 

There's a 2WD OR version?

 

Rear locker only works on 4LO.

 

What he said. So I'm confused on how you have a locker on a 2WD. Reading the owner's manual will help you out a lot!

 

2wd TRDOR comes with a locker.

 

IDK why 2wd Off Road comes with locker haha !

 

For extra smokey burnouts

 

so pretty much no use!

 

For extra smokey burnouts

well it would help alot. Got a buddy that had a prerunner and he swore by it.

 

There is a sticker on the driver door that explains how to use the locker. located next to your left knee.

 

I'm just curious what options a 2wd OR has? No MTS or crawl I take it? Glad you at least have a locker.

 

Without a locker they couldn’t really call it ‘off-road’. There are plenty of very capable 2wd off-road vehicles out there. For a lot of the trails guys engage 4WD for, 2wd with good tires will do just fine. There’s also a lot of stuff that a 2WD with a locker will go up, that a 4wd with open diffs won’t.

 

I don’t believe a 2WD vehicle has 4lo. No transfer case

 

Did you try to engage it while in neutral?

 

gotta be in 4LO

 

Sort of goes against the idea of a 2WD does it not?

 

oops should've read a little more lol.

 

He doesn’t have 4LO. It’s a 2WD. I agree with the having it in neutral advice.

 

No mention of 2WD but I would go with the advise of placing the truck in Neutral before hitting the button.

 

I have a 2wd off-road and I get the locker to engage by turning the steering wheel left and right sharply while driving slowly.
