Can am is offering a lockable front visco lok diff for a few models of Outlander in 2021 but so far no mention of it in the defender line up. This is something that should have been offered several years ago for customers that go to the steep and deep where the visco lok doesn't cut it. Yes they came out with the Smartlok for the XMR which is over kill for most of us cost wise and performance wise.

They offer the smart lock for all defender models, it’s an option you can purchase

In the defender line up the only one showing the Smart lok is the defender X mr, none of the others show an option for ordering the smart lok which would have to be a factory option since it integrates more sensors to make it work. If someone can find the smart lok option on other models please provide the link. Thanks

Looks like the 850 watt charging system is not provided on all defender models but is an $800 Cdn option on some?

Can am part number 705402371 - smart lok diff, would also require 715005331 - install kit 2018-prior, 715005332 - install kit 2019, and one of 2 modules either mud or rock

Thanks, you can buy the parts that you listed; 705402371 is available but no price, 715005332 is $419 Cdn and the two premium half shafts (optional but recommended) 705401936(7) $510 for the pair and I am not sure what the mud module cost is? All in when I checked in at the dealer in 2019 was about $2500 Cdn, definitely not an affordable option for me when compared to a pinlocker from SATV for $600 US/$800 Cdn. 

The factory installed option for the Smart lok or the Visco4Lok would be much more affordable and the Visco4Lok should be cheaper than the Smart lok but for now all we can do is wait.
