Will the FX4 pkg. ever get locking diffs.?

I'm still sort of a Jeep fan and remember that the Jeep Rubicon (and a few other road vehicles) have a (separate switch) locking diff., front and back. This seems to be the way to go, so why doesn't Ford offer this option w/the FX4 pkg.?

Even the Yamaha Grizzly has a separate locking diff. switch on the new models...

Ford may think about doing something like that if the new Dodge Powerwagon, which has factory lockers, becomes a big enough sales threat to the Fords. I think it would be great!

A few months back they showed a prototype SD in some of the truck magazines.....I think they called it the Big Hos edition off road package or something like that. It had selectable lockers front and rear, 35" tires, a Trail Ready bumper......and possibly a winch . The article said the earliest we could see something like that would be in '06 or '07, I can't remember which.
