On the Toyota side, pretty much anything IFS and in the past 20 or so years that uses ADD; Nissan side I know it is how the Frontier and Titan work, I would imagine the Xterra as well

One of Andrew SPW video's he lost an ABS sensor out in the Desert on the Canning Stock Route.
Yes but you need it in a Jeep Wrangler because the cabin isn't insulated
That’s interesting because I lost an ABS sensor in some ugly stuff at Fraser Island. The dash was lit up like a Christmas tree for a week, but I didn’t lose any functionality of the 4wd system - either CDL in high, or low range at any time. Perhaps it was different issues?
Losing a abs sensor will disable traction control, but in a car with manual diff locks it shouldn't matter at all.
Ahhh you said the magic words here, CDL... So if your system is full time 4WD, there's nothing to "lose" per se. On the IFS trucks that are selectable 4WD, loss of wheel speed sensor disables the ADD (what engages the front diff)
Not sure which vehicle it was in. Might have been a new landrover defender.
Ah, I assumed it would have been a 70 series yota given his fanboi status.

I can't find it on his website and he has a habit of taking video's down if they get negative comments.
That hasn't ever been an officially tested/certified figure....
If my sieve of a memory serves, he knocked a wheel sensor off his 70 series on the Canning and made a point of it being able to continue with full 4wd whereas a New Defender would have been disabled. I think there was a YouTuber in the UK who then tested that and found the Defender would have been OK.
Spot on. If Ineos sold every one of those in Australia, it would still be out sold by Hilux by 2 to 1. It would only be 3% of the the total market here and Australia is only about 1% of the global automobile market. Most definitely a niche.
For me the only piece of tech besides ABS/DSC, that I‘ve come to really like is the relatively new rear view camera in some vehicles. It allows you to add nets/partitions and gear into the rear load space without obstructing your view vs. a traditional mirror. If it does crap out on you, the mirror can be turned down, similar to the change in angle when someone shines their high beams in your rear view mirror, turning the mirror into a normal rear view.
I drove one of those
...a friends. A fancy, very expensive, high tech phone charger on 4 wheels 
I was about to place an order for a GLE Couple when I happened upon the Grenadier.I drove one of those
The parking lot 4-wheel steering was actually kinda cool.
Yeah, they are very similar vehicles with the same purpose and demographic.
I bet there’s a lot of folks (not auto enthusiasts) who would look at those two and say, “four doors, grey in colour, looks expensive, probably a rich asshole driving it … same shit”
