Whoever loses tracking first, loses. If the Ford has a locker like you say, a non-locker truck will not stand a chance so it's not even a fair comparison.

Very true. Here's a sweet little Land Rover diesel literally smoking a mighty Dodge Cummins. And yes, the Dodge is in 4WD, you can see tire smoke from the left front. Obviously the Rover has lockers and the Dodge open diffs.

The dodge is 2WD, look at 1:10-1:15. The right rear is smoking, and there is no movement or smoke from the front.

That's entirely possible with an open front differential.

The whole idea of 4x4 is the front tires get the same rotations the rears get. Fir the rear to spin a tire - lets assume it is spinning at least 30 mph, the two front tires will have to spin the same speed. both at 15 mph, one at 5 mph, one at 25 mph, one stopped the other at 30 mph etc.. for the front to sit there doing NOTHING, there is no power to the front.
