The E locker totally locks the rear axel when it’s engaged. To the point you can’t even make a turn on pavement. It effectively gives you true 3 wheel drive. Lockers are not very common.. But the way differentials work, your average 4x4 vehicle is realistically closer to 2wd, one front wheel and rear wheel, because the open differentials will always transfer the power toward the wheel with the least resistance. This gives the ability to make turns on pavement while 4x4 is engaged, among other things. It can also lead to you getting stuck in the trails where a locked diff will crawl right through muddy off-camber situations</blockquote>
