Default 2005 W/ or W/O diff lock?

so I've heard a lot on this site about 2005 models getting a front diff lock, but does anyone actually have any proof that they will be doing this?

I cant give you an article all I can tell you is a friend of mine went to the Arctic Cat Show in Cancun and he was told this by AC themselves.All I can say is contact your local dealers and ask them.See if they have any 2005 brochures.

The 400's, 500's, and 650's have a locker. I went to the show as well

What about the TRV? Did they have one there? Did it have the new body style and locker?

It looks like both the 400 & 500 TBX's get the new body style, but only the 500 TBX gets the locking front end. The TRV doesn't have the locking front end but it did get the digital display, along with a heavy duty rear axle (650 axles), speed rack system, new rubber mounted
passenger footrest to ease the vibration on the feet(mine went numb after 20 miles), and they finally claim they have a new rear brake with a remote master cylinder that actually works good.
