Hi Bluellew, 1st post, welcome..
Yes, there are various threads on diff lock. Basicly, dif locked VRs will have an open diff with a diff lock switch. Non-Diff locked ones have a hybrid LSD. Would have to replace the LSD with open diff to install factory diff lock. As the LSD is a very good LSD, most people who have them install the an aftermarket locker on the front diff.
You can have a LRFT with factory Diff lock, but you have to move the diff lock compressor. People here have done that too.
Having said all that, the weakest link in the triton in my case is definitely the driver! I've pushed the truck further than I though it could go, and it handled it all in it's stride. I was breaking anal hygeine codes, but the truck was fine!
I could add front diff lock to mine and when the going got tuff, it might make it slightly easier. But my priorities changed when I saw how good stock is.
