A word of warning, the centre diff is not designed to take up that much spin. It is designed to compensate for the little amount of difference between the front and rear axles. It won't take long to knacker the centre diff spinning one wheel like this.
No Problems all here Larry, no load = no stress. Chuck in traction control and the spinning diffs are loaded up all the time, don't see as many worn out diffs as one might expect. Peter, Traction Control is good but I prefer Diff Locks, this is advertised as having ABD, but it dosent, that was the point of the test. The E6 model is supposed to have it tho. The truck is also advertised as having Vented brakes but it dosent.
The spec sheet I have doesn't mention traction control. It lists Electronic Brakeforce Distribution, which is a different thing. It does say it has ventilated front disc's though, which the current model still doesn't have :-(

I'd like to see this truck here in Brazil, it's a shame not to be manufactured here, of course you have to be 4 x 4.
*I agree, we NEED these in South America. There are no similar 4x4 vehicles...*
Do you wish it had traction control? Do current models have it?
Don Incoll has one but he's not a member just at the moment. He'll be back though ...
Michael Millsteed It has front rear and centre hydraulically operated diff locks as standard
i need that truck
