Question MT and locking differentials?

I can't seem to find this info on Toyota's website. Is a locking rear differential a standard part of the base MT setup or is it an option or part of a package?
Am I correct that a locking center is part of the standard MT setup?
I would rather get the answer from you folks than a dealer.

Re: MT and locking differentials?

You are correct on both points. The rear diff lock is a standard feature on the manual transmission model which is equipped with a locking center diff.

Re: MT and locking differentials?

Welcome.

If you buy an MT, the locking rear diff is included.

Don't know about the center...There is a transfer case, but I don't think it's separately lockable.

Re: MT and locking differentials?

you get both a locking center and rear diff, standard.

and all wheel drive, all the time.

it's a completely different vehicle from the AT versions.
