No pickup trucks are "AWD" so that's an easy one. It's either 2WD or 4x4.
There is an option code for limited slip or locking differential. Learn what they are for the various brands and have the seller look at the option tag to see if that code is present. On GM pickup trucks, the code is "G80" and the option tag is located in the glove compartment.

Now I have a 4x4, and what that has afforded me is the ability to leave the concrete slabs at home during the winter. 4LO is handy as heck for backing trailers into the barn.

This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
