Anyone know what the deal is with holdens crosstrac on the adventura and how it works? is it an open or lsd center?? or is it electronic like the nissan pathfinder and GT-R where it variably locks up as needed?
Dave.

Hi Biscuits,
The Holden uses open diffs and traction control. The other unique feature is the way the torque is distributed. Holden use a sun gear, plantentary gears and a ring gear in the centre diff to mechanically transfer something like 67% to the rear and 33% to the front. Therefore the car still behaves like a RWD.
I don't do a whole lot of 4WDing anymore so I almost contemplated trading my Landcruiser 100 TD for one but was put off by the high fuel consumption and small tank. Great dirt road car but limited touring range.
I,m now glad I kept the Cruiser as we are now planing to travel a bit more.
Cheers,
Topend

geez, it would be a race to see which happens first, the abs motors go into thermal shutdown, or the gen3 runs out of oil !!!!!!!!!!!!1
It was just a slapped on front system to get it out to market before the ford variant. might be ok to do snow trips etc. but i wouldn't like to flog over too many rough roads, seeing as the steering racks flog out after 60-70k on bitchi roads. Now if it was the same as the gtr's attessa system then it would be another story.
