In my experience, I have had traction control get intrusive when the center diff. is locked (& VSC is off) and there is a good amount of wheel spin, like when I was trying to make it up an icy hill.
By the way, when the center diff. is locked, 50% of the power is going to the front axle and 50% is going to the rear. It sounds the same as saying 25% to each wheel but it's very different. The 50% is split between the 2 tires of that axle as the corresponding differential sees fit. It can be 25/25, 30/20, or even 50/0.

There is still a difference in the amount of wheel rotations needed to make a turn between wheels on the same axle AS WELL AS wheels on opposite axles.
A vehicle with fully locked differentials (one that transmits an equal 25% to all wheels all the time) would be extremely difficult to turn on most terrains, even loose ones.

Makes sense. But no matter how the GX does it, it does it well! I hope next weekend will bring more SNOW!!! Ha Ha. I think this is a second time in my whole life I am wishing for more snow. 2 Weeks ago was the first time.

Ok, I finaly chopped up the video, and came up with this:

The camera wasn't mounted, therefore the film is shaky.
It looks like it will be more snow this weekend and I will be going this Saturday again
