This one has the rear locker. You can also check to see if it has it by running the vin IIRC. https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for...Code1=ROV&modelCode1=DEFEND&clickType=listing
New Defender Rage/Hate Thread
- Thread starter DieselRanger
- Start date
18’s with a full 32.
Like it or not but LR began moving away from the 4WD community with the last years of the LR4, when they dropped 2-speed xfer cases. I'm not surprised that the first lots of Defenders are loaded with luxury options, targeting the yuppy buyer. The Evoque was a fashion statement and telegraphed the future.

Some of the first spy shots that ever came out for the Defender were literally wheeling in Moab. They used footage on Hell's Gate in many of their promotional videos.

Except for the fact that this situation has absolutely nothing to do with LR, and caused by the decisions of independently owned dealerships.
JLR made something for the 4WD community, regardless of what a minority of haters say on the internet. The dealers just know that lots of other people are going to want these too, and many of those people are luxury buyers who want air conditioning for their crotches.
If you think LR didn't participate in the seeding of the NA market through what product was delivered, you are being really really naive.

The LR4 still had the two speed as a option in the US and Canada. Everywhere else got it as standard IIRC.
It’s a JLRNA problem not a JLR As a whole problem. It’s just like the diesel and other utilitarian options.
I’ve wheeled my LR3 with 18’s and 31 in tires never once did I bottom out. Hells revenge Kane Creek. Not doing much more than that because I have to drive it home. I wouldn’t do much more in any vehicle I have to drive back home.
But I understand you need lots of clearance in Moab. You might want to tell this guy that.

Well, nobody told Land Rover - they have been wheeling in Moab for years on 20"-22" rims and 55 or 45 series street tires on full-fat Range Rovers, RRS's, LR4s and Discoverys.
Poison Spider, Hell's Revenge, Fins n Things are all on their itinerary.
You could drive slickrock on racing slicks if you wanted to.
