The traction control on my Ram works better than any limited slip and as well as the G80. Limited slip is only beneficial if you have to get after it or playing around. It allows you to spin the tires at a high rate of speed. With the traction control you can have one wheel on roller ball bearings and the truck will put the power to the wheel with traction.
LSD was standard on my Ram, optional on my Ford and not available on my Mazda. I will choose LSD anytime it is offered.
I have mixed feelings about the traction control on my Ram. It seems to be the cause of much of my throttle lag and the truck is much more responsive with it turned off.
As far traction control or stable trek or whatever they call it on my duramax I am not sure I like it either. I am so use to trucks without it. When in snow and you step on the fuel and those wheels start braking here and there it sure is weird!! I have turned it off in the past at times.
