Always good to learn

Someone else can certainly come in and give a better explanation but basically the locker locks the rear differential so that both rear wheels get equal power. Without the locker you can have one wheel with good traction and the other without and the power will go to the one without. At least that is the extent of my understanding of the locker. Straight base and lux models do not have the locker.
