There are conditions when ETC may get "confused" or where its slight engagement lag costs critical momentum and grip. Its also good to have a positive engagement control and not rely on a chip. You don't have to have a locker to go offroad, but its a lot better with one. Considering the price of the Adventure pkg, I think its a no-brainer unless you plan to never leave the pavement. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

The lag on the Eaton E-locker is counted in milliseconds, and is faster to engage than a mechanical locker and especially an air locker.
In fact, that was one point brought up by Motorweek in their explanation of how the e-locker operated...lag time is almost non-existent.
The minute you hit the switch, the coil energizes, the plate with the dowels immediately moves and within a set revolution (about a tenth I believe), the locker engages.
There is also no confusion, if you set it under the conditions required as per the owner's manual. It's actually a pretty simple system.
In my use, this locker is a heck of a lot faster than an ARB air locker.
