I partially agree and disagree.
I have a '95 Nissan XE-V6 4x4 KC, it came with the factory LSD in the rear diff. There have been many times in deep snow that I have gotten through because I was able to apply a lot of chewing power to BOTH back tires. I was spinning BOTH rear wheels, not just one.
Keep in mind my 4x4 system is antiquated. To get 4WD I have to come to a complete stop, shift into 4WD HIGH or 4WD LOW then start up again. There are lots of times I'm in 2WD only and I come upon deep drifted snow. The traditional LSD allows me to get both rear wheels powering through without having to stop, shift into 4WD and find out I'm completely stuck because I have lost all my forward momentum.
My concern with the Titan boils down to this very same issue. It sounds to me like I will never be able to spin BOTH back tires at the same time. In addition although the e-locker may be awesome technology, I would have to drive around in 4WD LOW all the time (you know that will not work) or come to a complete stop in the middle of a snow drift to shift into 4WD LOW so I can turn on the e-locker, and then hope like heck I can get out from a dead stop.
To me it sounds like VDC and ABLS are not going to give me that snow chewing power and capability.
