Freedom Locker FAQ

What does a Freedom Locker do?

The Freedom Locker allows you to lock your factory differential in any drive mode—2WD, 4WD High, and 4WD Low—giving you more control and traction when you need it.

Does it come with a switch?

No need for an extra switch! This kit utilizes your factory Diff Lock button located in the upper console.

Why would I want or need the Freedom Locker?

The Freedom Locker is another tool in your off-road arsenal. With it, you’ll rarely need 4WD in most situations, as a locked differential provides superior traction. Additionally, being able to lock your differential in 4WD High allows for smoother crawling and better control.

When should I use the Freedom Locker?

Use it whenever traction is lost on one of the rear wheels, typically during flex or uneven terrain.

Will I still be able to use Crawl Control and other off-road functions?

Yes! All other off-road functions, including Crawl Control, use ABS to modulate the brakes and control wheel slip.

I pressed the Diff Lock button, but it won’t turn on. What should I do?

Make sure you come to a complete stop, then press and hold the button for 2.5 seconds until you hear a click and see the traction control lights activate.

Does the Freedom Locker turn off ABS?

No. For safety reasons, ABS remains active. However, the Freedom Locker does disable Traction Control and Forward Collision—just as it does when you engage 4WD Low from the factory.

My Traction Control didn’t turn off when I locked the differential. Why?

Ensure you are either stopped or driving under 3 mph before pressing and holding the Diff Lock button.

Can’t I just do the Gray Wire Mod instead?

No, the Gray Wire Mod does not work on 3rd Gen Tacomas. In fact, most Toyota models from 2005 onward do not support this modification.

Will I see warning lights or error messages on my dash or radio?

No warning lights or errors will appear on your dash or radio. However, you will see a temporary message indicating that Traction Control and Forward Collision have been disabled—this is normal.

Will the Freedom Locker void my warranty?

No. The Freedom Locker is plug-and-play, meaning no wires need to be cut or modified. It functions like a factory system and can be easily removed at any time without affecting your warranty.
