Has typical 4x4 hardware, full-time four-wheel drive with two-speed (dual range) transfer case and centre differential lock. Front and rear differentials are open differentials (a rear differential lock was optional) with no torque control capability. They use Volkswagen’s "electronic differential lock" (EDL), but don’t let the clever name fool you, its just ABS brake traction control. Not that there is anything wrong with traction control, as it works very well to help control torque from side-to-side, its just electronic differential lock is a very deceiving name to describe it.
