I dont have mine yet but perhaps try 4H, off-road +, then hold ESC for 5 seconds (FULL OFF), then try the rear locker. It might not be working because the ESC system wants all wheels to spin on their own.

I believe the off road plus mode in 4 High is for sand/mud which should lock the rear end. Check the off road pages when you are wheeling...it should show you what’s locked and not
When you press the off road + button, the off road pages appear. They showed that the rear was not locked.

Do you know if this will be back datable?

Hi smlobx,
I apologize, but that is all the information available at this time. Once it is released, I anticipate your question will be answered.

I was just at beach and kept trying to engage the rear locker using the off-road+ button as originally published, to no avail. So if the off-road+ button doesn't engage the rear locker, what does it do besides turn off the traction control which we can already do with a separate button?

Second related question, how does one engage the automatic crawl when in 4wd low?

Hit the button when stopped and then put the shifter in manual mode and hit +or- to adjust the speed (iirc, haven't used it in a while).

I just saw that the Gladiator Mojave has been announced and includes high speed rear locker functionality. Is this Mojave version the full extent of the release of the high speed rear locker functionality, or will we see this feature be applied to other Gladiator models as well via a programming update?

Gonna guess the rest of us won’t see this as an update and are gonna have to buy a taser to do this.
