I would recommend it, especially if you will take it off road. It will also help dramatically in snowy and icy conditions.

Sales Rep? Come on, these guys don't know what a spark plug is.

The electronic differential has the same functionality and gear ratio as an open differential, but also incorporates a locking and torque biasing function to give improved traction performance and vehicle dynamic stability. The multi-plate clutch actively controls the torque flow through the differential and optimizes the torque distribution in the driveline. The clutch biases the torque from the differential to the wheel with the higher grip and prevents the wheel with the lower grip from spinning.
