I had manual hubs on my old truck and they were a pain in the butt. Never locked in when you want them to be. I would avoid oportunities to have a little fun because it would meen getting out and locking in and then getting back out 30 seconds later to unlock to continue on my way.

Stronger for extreem trail use, I don't doubt it. However, for what I use the truck for, as long as the ADD continues to work well, I am all about it.
