Like most things, they are an option. Point taken though on the sheer number of them out there across several vehicles lines. The G80 is standard on Dmax trucks. If you buy a Dmax,you get a G80 in the diff. It's supposedly an option but they're on (most) every Dmax so in effect they're standard. Maybe they've become standard now? A friend's '01 actually came with an open diff. It was also built 13yrs ago, now it's a 9 second race truck.

Actually it's an '05 2500HD, CC, 4X, 6.0 gas, tows a bumper pull 29' trailer. I asked him several days ago. Very damn few people are gonna be putting 38's on their fullsize pickup and rock climbing, or running it through mud bogs. The guy was testing soil today. Pulls a 12,600lb trackhoe and a bunch of tools on a 4000lb trailer, behind his '03 Dmax........over all kinds of Utah ground, way over 300K miles, no diff. problems.
