Does Lexus GX have locking diff?

Lexus GX and Locking Differential
The Lexus GX is equipped with a locking differential. The center differential lock (CDL) in the GX is a torsen differential, which can vary power distribution between the front and rear axles based on the amount of traction available. However, it cannot compensate for situations where one of the axles has no traction at all. The CDL is primarily used in sticky situations to get “unstuck” and is not meant to be used at highway speeds.
The CDL can be engaged by pushing the center differential lock/unlock switch. When the CDL is locked, the center differential lock indicator light will blink and a buzzer will sound. To stop the blinking and buzzing, the slipping or spinning should be stopped and the switch should be pushed again. If the indicator continues to blink even after doing so, it is recommended to have the vehicle inspected by a Lexus dealer as there may be a trouble in the four-wheel drive system.
It’s worth noting that the Lexus GX shares a platform with the Toyota 4Runner and features a V8 engine and four-wheel drive with a center locking differential. The GX is known for its off-road capabilities and is considered a luxury off-roader.
