So it will depend on whether there is a manual option available for the luxo-barge or if its an auto only model...

It clearly states that LSD's are for XR6T & XR8!!!! WTF......RegardsTUFXRT6

I think this is due to the traction control system that is used. I think it's a four channel system which will allow abs to be applied to each rear wheel independantly to prevent loss of traction.Just my thoughts.
