Can TAZER JL Turn Assist act like Toyota’s Atrac system?

Wondering if TAZER can do this?

Is that different than the brake lock differential that we all have? I don't know much about the Toyota system, but from what I just read "A-TRAC stands for “Active Traction Control” and comes standard on some of Toyota's 4-wheel-drive models. ... A-TRAC detects when one or more wheels have lost traction and automatically applies the brakes to the wheel with no traction, allowing it to send power to the wheel with traction."
That sounds exactly like the BLD

Edit: should be BLD. EBD is the VW equivalent

I didn’t know about EBD

Thanks!!!

The off road cruise control button (button by the radio) does the same thing as ATRAC………I believe. Someone correct me if aim wrong here.

It would be more the BLD. Doesn't offroad cruise control just maintain speed?

Edited to correct terminology. On our jeeps ,it's called Brake Lock Differential.

My understanding is it’s a refinement of the old hill descent control which definitely used the ABS to individually control the wheels. Basically it’s hill descent control that works without the need for a hill and will maintain a set speed. Again, I could be off base…..but I don’t think it am.

I think selec-speed/off-road cruise control is also using the BLD to do it's thing. BLD is what brakes the individual wheel using abs when one slips. My JT does not have selec speed/ off-road cruise but I still have the individual wheel braking and the brake lock differential. The effect is even stronger in off-road+ mode. I assume BLD is also active with off-road cruise enabled. Is Toyota ATRAC also using ebd + low speed control?

Edit: originally I called it electronic brake differential, because that's what it's called on VWs and Audis. On our jeeps, it's the Brake Lock differential, Same thing, different name.

1. Turn Assist and ATRAC aren't really close in operation, so no, it cannot act like ATRAC. Just because they both use ABS does not mean they operate in the same way.
2. What function are you looking to gain exactly that your Jeep does not currently have?

I'm pretty sure all the JT's and JL's have off road cruise control. The difference on the Rubicon is the .6 MPH increment vs 1 MPH, the transfer case gearing is different. It was emphasized at the Jeep Adventure Academy, because folks don't realize they have it / what it is. My wife did, much to her delight!

Distinctly NOT hill descent control, since it works up/down/straight and level to keep the speed you set, almost a lawyer-proof hand throttle.

Need a reason to not get lockers.

Manuals don't. All automatics do. . You guys have an extra button that I don't have. Still get BLD, of course, but no offroad cruise.

Manuals don't get this.:

Ours is blank there:

That's duck mode.......

Since mine is just blank there anyway, it'd kind of be cool if I could get a duck decal put there, to confuse passengers.
