traction lock is an option not standard. traction lock is not the same nor included with traction control system. traction lock is same as limited slip or posi-traction type rear ends. it mechanically transmits energy to the wheel with the most traction in slippery conditions. tracion control applies a brake at the wheel with the least traction and may chop the throttle depending on severity of slippage. they can be ordered together but i am not sure of any advantage to do so.

thanks I was very confused... other than doing burnouts how can one tell if they have the traction lock option.... is there a tell tall sign to look for? something visual?

V6s do not have t-lok. None of them.

traction lock is listed as optional in the dealer lit. easiest way to tell is look at rear end cover. traction lock will have a metal tag attached to one of the bolts indicating need for additive for fluid . or get both wheel off the ground, turn one and watch the other traction lock will turn the same direction and non-traction lock will turn the opposite direction.

i'll have to retract the V6 availability of traction lock. i was positive the lit showed both. i don't have it here at work but the option list at Edmunds indicates traction control only available. i hate it and turn it off when i remember to. chopping the trottle is quite bothersome when you want to keep your foot in it.
