Is 4x4 really 4x4?

Unless it's got lockers front and rear, nothing is "true" 4x4. Best option from the factory would be a limited slip differential (you'd need to decode the tag on the axles to know for sure) But, any open carrier will lose traction if you twist your body and have 2 wheels in contact w/ the ground and 2 up. the 2 up will get power while the 2 on the ground get sheeite!!! Frusterating... But, that's what makes a differential a differential.

2003-up FX4 Rangers have the regular Ford "TracLoc" limited-slip (28 spline).
2003-up FX4 Level II Rangers have the "Torsen" limited slip (31 spline).

Until you twist your chassis... then it's no wheel drive...
It doesn't mean the truck is completely useless. Remember this bit of information and drive accordingly. If you plan a lift, get a lift that offers a good amount of flex so it'll be much harder to twist the chassis to the point you lose traction on the two wheels. Also, carry a high lift jack or a buddy with a tow rope.
