I don't know about GM, but Toyota puts traction control on all their trims. It locks the brake on the spinning tire which effectively makes it a locking diff. Not as good as one, but still effective for anything except off roading. I drove mine through the nastiest road conditions I have ever been in, including having to drive through deep snow drifts. 0 problem.
These people are the meatiest of meatheads, though. A lot of that. There's a truck down the road with aftermarket off road suspension, dumb undercarriage lights, fake roll bar...and car tires and rims that are extra wide. Absolutely useless on anything but dry pavement. Hydroplane on a single drop of water.

Traditional locking diffs run open unless you manually lock them. If you lock them for normal driving, on a road, like every other lifted pickup, you'll have all kinds of problems attempting to turn. From skipping/dragging tires at low speeds to destroying the drivetrain at highway speed. Not too different from turning on 4x4.

In VA here, we have idiots that only jack up the FRONT of the truck as the newest fad. I was outside at a restaurant, and one of these geniuses decided to cut across the grass, and didn't see a green junction box in the yard, completely flattened it and limped away. Sounded expensive.

After thinking about for a while: just like a woman dressing like a hoo-ahh on the NY subway, that lambo driver was kinda asking for it. Who gets within 100 yards of a store's door while they are in their sports/classic car? Enter the lot using the farthest exit, park in the no-door-ding section, and then leave by that same farthest exit!
