    Like ferntr said, they don’t come with front lockers. These are two of the more common air lockers front and rear aftermarket. You could even get a rear and have 2WD locked.

    reviving a clearly dead thread:
    2019 TD OR with crawl control doesn't have a front locked differential? I definitely get binding when I accidentally leave 4wd on and try some low speed turning on the pavement. I'm cornfused.

    It does not. Do you see a factory button for a front locker?

    That’s normal to have binding if there isn’t enough slip in 4wd. That has to do with the front and rear axles locked together in a part time 4wd system but the front and rear are moving at different speeds.

    Lockers can definitely make it worst.

    You will get some binding in turns in standard 4WD on dry pavement, perfectly normal. That's why you don't use 4WD on dry pavement, during turns the front wheels are trying to move at slightly different speeds but they can't slip that little bit so it binds up.

    Also, it is my understanding that you don't want to have the rear axle locked if you are using crawl control. It defeats the purpose of the engine and brake system controlling each wheel independently. If you are not using CC, then locking there rear axle is fine if you need it. Correct me if I'm wrong on any of this.
