2025 T60 MAX Rear Differential Lock: Identify Pro, Plus and Mega Tub Plus Equipment

Check the MY25 T60 MAX trim-specific rear on-demand differential lock before treating four-wheel-drive rear axles as identical.

When requesting T60 MAX rear axle parts, an owner may say “they are all four-wheel drive, so the rear should be the same”. That is insufficient for the Australian MY25 range. Distinguish rear differential lock equipment on Pro, Plus and Mega Tub Plus before establishing the rear axle purchasing scope.

Four-wheel drive does not establish the same rear differential lock

The official MY25 sheet lists Rear On Demand Differential Lock separately: absent on Pro, fitted to Plus and Mega Tub Plus. [Official specifications][Q31] “4×4” therefore cannot replace this equipment identity, and the shared model name does not identify a rear axle assembly.

The footnote also states that it self-engages when required below 30km/h. This is one published operating condition, not an instruction to use that speed for fault testing or a complete description of control logic.

Retain the relevant rear axle background

Record the exact trim, vehicle messages, rear axle markings confirmed by the repairer and previous modifications. For noise or a function message, separate symptoms from confirmed component location rather than simply writing “differential lock failed”.

Differential locking, four-wheel-drive selection and traction-related functions may appear together in model information, but their names cannot be combined into one actuator. Actual diagnosis and the catalogue must determine whether the requirement concerns a complete rear axle or another supply level.

Appearance and other models cannot supply missing part numbers

The factory sheet establishes equipment differences, not internal construction, service parts or cross-version replacement plans. Similar axle appearance and four-wheel-drive markings do not prove interchangeability. MG7 e-LSD material cannot explain this vehicle's on-demand differential lock.

Scope and verification

This article is limited to Australia; MY25 LDV T60 MAX; Pro, Plus and Mega Tub Plus. [Model year scope][Q31] The cited product equipment information identifies functions and parts; it is not a fault or replacement criterion.

No public data were available in the reviewed material for differential-lock internal construction, all engagement conditions, fault and replacement criteria, rear axle/actuator OE numbers, repair parameters, separate supply and interchangeability; OE numbers, repair parameters, separate parts availability, or compatibility and interchangeability. [To be verified] Compatibility or interchangeability must be checked using the vehicle identification number (VIN) and the local factory parts catalogue in Australia.

For parts discussed here, use the parts enquiry page.
