7 speed manual, lockers?

The auto has the option of lockers. The 7 speed boasts the crawl gear, which is really pretty impressive. But can you lock the axles? Low gears and open diffs?

I believe you can turn off the lockers anytime you want. But you can only engage the front locker in 4 low. It shouldn’t matter if you have the 10 speed or the MT.

I don't see the buttons on the dash for the lockers with the interior view of the base with a 7 speed.

Oh to clarify only Squatched or Badlands come with Front and rear lockers. The Black Diamond has only the rear locker. FEs come with everything.

The Base doesn't get lockers (w/o Sasquatch - A/T only).
Only Badlands and above do, and it's an extra-cost option.
I ordered the Badlands / 7sp with front and rear lockers.

I'm getting the Black Diamond 2.3L manual with the rear locker. I won't be doing a lot of off-road travel so for mud and snow just having the rear locker is more than enough.

I can find the option for a rear locking diff on the build page if I select the Badlands. The pic of the dash has all the buttons but the turn assist. So that leads me to assume there is a button for the front diff. But I cannot find any mention of a locking front diff on Ford's site.

As much as I'd like a Squatch, I'd love to have that crawl gear and lockers.

what that means is the front and rear are locked together like a normal 4WD. it has nothing to do with locking the differentials.

Makes sense. So I still don't know.

The Badlands and above have front and rear lockers as standard equipment.

It's likely that there will eventually be aftermarket options available, but i think it's important to note that Ford is going to offer different diff options after sale, likely Q2 2022.

There is a video of a base with Open Diff vs a 4 door with sas pkg. Return To Bronco Knoll! Base Bronco on 35's Takes Another Crack at Ford's Easter Egg Hunt! - YouTube
The same couple has a video of them on the same hill with stock tires and didn't make it. The heavier locked 4 door didn't spin a tire in the same section.

No, but i looked through it and it is accurate for 2022 except for the following:
  • First Edition is no longer available
  • The bumper options on Black Diamond and Badlands has changed. There is a new bumper called the “capable bumper” that is now standard on those trims, and the HD Modular Front Bumper is now an optional upgrade.

Bump. Is there an updated table like this that includes bumper changes and the HOSS 3.0?

There is not. I searched for one on Ford's media website (where this table came from), and there was nothing.

I did create a similar table that I used to decide which order to place—if there is interest I can clean it up and post it.
