If you have F/R ARB you have a tremendous level of traction. There are cases though where you wouldn't want to fully bind up the powertrain and actually need to be able to steer.
I've never owned an off-road truck/SUV with F & R locked but have driven plenty of 4x4 quads that are locked up and steering isn't fun when not needed.
How well can you maneuver your GX when F/R diffs are locked?
If this can be made to work on '20+ just another blade on the swiss army knife of your vehicle's capabilities. Will it get you out of something your lockers can't? Probably not ...but I can't say it won't either.
What typical terrain do you plan to drive your GX in?
I should have started by saying that while I may be a GX newb, I have well over 2 decades of experience with wheeling rigs with f/r and center dif locks and know how to utilize them well. For the bulk of the time, a front locker is usually not necessary when wheeling off-road in terrain where you lift a tyre - momentum can do wonders...usually. At some point, the new GX will become our more cushy overlander and working to prep my build list to make it a very capable vehicle. At the moment, we wheel with our '95 LR Defender 90 which is quite capable off-road...but it will be my son's in a few years. Gotta prep for the future!!!
Appreciate the input and agree - good to have some extra items in the swiss army knife!!!
In other forums when added most give more use to MTS than Crawl. On 10-19 you can do MTS, Crawl or both... at this point it appears it will be all or nothing for 20+
MTS is basically the Toyota version of LR Terrain Response (I think that is what they call it).

That LR you have is one tough rig.
Thanks man, seems pretty close to the same functions I had in my LR3/Disco 3. We replaced that beast with the GX. I did not baby that LR either
Encouraged by the ability of the LC Prado, the 'yota dependability...gave up chasing the new Defender to go GX. The MTS and CC sound interesting for mods - just need to weigh the costs for each addition vs the locker scenario. I think I know which way I am leaning at the moment.
eNx in previous few posts has a switch on order so that will help confirm if the logic is here to retrofit a Luxury. If confirmed base/premium owners will need to do some custom wiring to skid control ECU off master cylinder. Nothing will be for certain though until owners of all trim levels confirm with some experimentation.
I think the color of the part# that I bought is gray. My switch color is black. I never really noticed it because I rarely look at the switches. Once it arrives, I'll try it out anyways. Color won't have any affect on the function but it will look out of place. haha
Acrad, do you know if the paper clips placement on the 2020 is same as 2019? It looks like from Velk's video that it's the last two pins (1 top , 1 bottom) for the 2019. Hopefully the ZPC process is the same way.
This means that the paper clip method that was previously available, is not the same method for 2020 or not possible (which sucks).
Does anyone have a wire diagram for 2020 to see if something I can do paper clip jump? I don't have techstream so that would be out of the question, when my switch arrives.
However, if it recognize it, by me just plugging the switch (since I have all the wires for skid control), that would be ideal. But I doubt it.

Version 12.2, acrad please correct me if I am wrong, is a common version as there are readily available virtual machines already configured, OS, program, drivers, etc., and makes getting started very trivial. Newer versions remove some of the vehicle customization capabilities.
You will need to buy an adaptor to communicate, the unit's linked in the thread are no longer for sale.
