Driveshaft question

Haven't actually been under the new truck except to change the oil and for some dumb reason I didn't look at the driveshaft (2018 F250 CC SWB) and was wondering which models have the 2 piece driveshaft? Is that only for LWB trucks or other?

Thanks

Are your hubs locked?

Even if not...yes, the driveshaft can still turn while driving due to fluid friction in the t-case
