Galen was referring to the majority of trucks with "open" differential trucks. I know I have owned a few, and no more. Now I make sure to get auto locking differentials. My first locking differential was in a 76 4x4, and it was unbelievable the difference. Then I traded for a 92 "4x4" (really a 4x2 since both differentials were open), and that truck would get stuck on wet grass on a hillside. I knew better, but the salesman talked me into a reg cab with open differentials, and 5 speed manual. I never really did like that truck, as the light duty 5 speed always seemed to be in the wrong gear. Sold it with 65,000 miles on it, and while it was in near mint condition, I have not regretted selling it. I can do without the bluetooth, wifi, and some of the high tech stuff, but I'll sure take the locking differential, automatic transmission, and power steering. It has not been that many years that I have forgotten how badly those trucks drove. With that said, I bought a 1970 F100 and going to get on the road, but it will not be a daily driver. (does have 302, automatic and PS though - and may put power brakes on it if I find a donor)
