How important is the torsen front diff?

[Droid]

Only says it's 2004-2017, but my understanding is this-or-similar part fits. Not sure on installation cost.

This guy added one:

Don't take anything I'm saying here as solid advice, this is just info I'm regurgitating from the web.

Does the 802A come with it? I thought they all had LS front diffs

torsen diff standard on 802. optional on 800 & 801.

I don't know how much the lack of a torsen diff is made up by traction control. I ordered my 800a with a torsen diff. I don't off-road that much yet, but I have gone on a few runs where other (non raptors) had trouble or could not climb and I made it without wheel spin. This truck in awesome!

It can be added, but new expect to be under 2K, used less than 1K.

I watched my two front tires throw mud to pull me out of a mud hole... sure beat asking my buddies wrangler to pull me out.

Awesome I just ordered a 2020 Screw 800A with the torsen front diff. Did your dealer give information about tracking the build process? Just wonder because mine has not given me any sort of offical confirmation from ford yet although I put money down

Team Ford in Vegas has one

 

[Bluto]

Do all the 2017 and newer 802As have them? Or were they introduced at some point later than 2017?

All 802a - option for 800 and 801

 

[Zeusmotorworks]

All 802a 2019 and up, right? Option for 17-18 I thought.
