From my experience with the similar brake activated torque distribution in my FJ Cruiser (ATRAC) I can say it works very well (as in this videos) as long as you have fairly good traction. However, it does not work as well as locking differentials when you're in deep low traction situation like snow and ice or mud. Sometimes you want to avoid loosing traction so as not to dig in. In those situation even one locking differential is much better because you have to spin at least 3 wheels. This prevents any wheel slip and forward progress is maintained. Notice how much the unloaded wheels spins before the brake is applied and the torque switched to the opposing wheel. Now imagine this when you're trying to drive on top of deep snow or through deep mud. Plus sometimes you do want to spin up the tires to clear the treads. A braking system like this does not lend itself to this. Now add some locking diffs to the Jimny and it would be a goat.
@vicrundle46615 жыл бұрын
A Diff lock would definitely be better. The brake system is reactive as opposed to active, but still hugely better than open diffs.

As Suzuki pulled out of North America, the chances of the Suzuki Jimny coming to the US are highly unlikely. Our best chance is that it eventually gets marketed here rebranded under another manufacturer. I don't know how likely that is, but I'll keep my fingers cross. While I'd rather have a Suzuki Jimny, Id settle for a "Chevy Tracker" that is really a Jimny with Chevy badges.
