Read equipment symbols correctly
The table uses a filled circle for standard equipment, an open circle for an option and a dash for absence. In the main front-lock row, Conqueror and Diesel are standard; Challenger and the two 300L hybrids are optional. Read the relevant option section too. Optional does not mean that the proposed vehicle already has the hardware. Ask for written confirmation of the actual configuration before purchasing.
Separate axle locks from other systems
Terrain modes, traction control and an axle differential lock describe different functions. A driving-mode list does not prove that a front-lock option is fitted. Identify the precise manufacturer feature and request vehicle-specific confirmation. The separately listed Hooke Road has its own sheet, including standard front and rear locks. Do not use that special-version specification to establish equipment on an ordinary 300 or 300L that is being offered.
Specify hardware without prescribing operation
If a front lock is essential, make it a written purchase requirement before procurement. For a used vehicle, add relevant checks of modifications and operation to the agreed inspection scope. Follow the actual vehicle manual and appropriate training for use; this buying guide does not prescribe when or how to engage a lock. Share the intended driving environment, exact trim and destination so the discussion concerns the hardware you need.
Questions, answered.
Does an optional front lock mean it is installed?
No. Confirm the actual factory option or vehicle configuration in writing before purchase.
Do terrain modes prove that every differential lock is present?
No. Check individual hardware rows and the identified vehicle. Driver-selectable modes and differential-lock equipment are separate features.
