All a locking diff will do is get you out of a ditch or give you traction at low speeds (4 wheel low essentially). VDC will work when you are under heavy loads and towing, turning corners etc. Traction control will work at slow or moderate speeds and when you do not know you are going to lose traction. I can't believe they downgraded the 04 packaging by doing this.

I like that change. VDC sucks, imho, and I will get the offroad package just so I do not have to worry about VDC. Instead of relying on a computer to back off the gas for you, why not just learn to control the vehicle?

The off road package is inherently worse in bad weather/traction conditions as the wider tires have less grip.

Where do you figure that? I mean, I may be wrong, but my impression is that a wider footprint will IMPROVE traction.
