Uh. What?
Locker? No. what the heck else are you looking for? I can tell you it has 4 wheels, tires. A steering wheel. A box. An engine.

Toyota does not offer the Tundra with factory lockers. I have a 2016 Crewmax and that is its biggest flaw besides it's size. Also they don't offer crawl control or anything of that nature either like found on the Tacoma and 4Runner.

I've got a factory locker in my F150, but I doubt I would ever use it. Mainly due to what you pointed out: Size. I won't be taking it on hard trails, because it's just too big. This is why Toyota didn't put one in there. With the excellent ATRAC system, it's just not necessary for 99.99% of buyers.
OP, as stated, the Tundra doesn't come with lockers from the factory. However there are aftermarket options, like those offered by ARB. It's platform (frame and chassis) is built in North America and very much tailored to the North American truck crowd.
I haven't heard anything bad about its 4wd system, though I don't know how its components stack up to a Landcruiser's or 4runner's. It's probably fine in stock form to handle most of the trails and roads you'd encounter in North America. If you wanted to make it more capable in difficult terrain, you'd likely want to invest in some tires, suspension and differential modifications.

Having a heavily modified 2010 that gets beat off road I would say they are an excellent expedition based vehicle if you stay to rough forest service type roads. The double cab Tundra model actually has a very functionally sized rear seat to boot. There greatest feature besides the 5.7 engine is a almost flat underside so with good skid plates and sliders you can winch over most obstacles you typically find on deactivated roads. Probably one of the best expo vehicles for my purposes I have owned. Now I say this with terms of reference from owning several landcruisers, Gen 1 Tacoma and a Gen 2 Tacoma which were all heavily moddified for off road use and currently own a Jeep Rubicon on 37's with all the cool bits and a 2016 4runner trail to compare to. Its a great vehicle....for FSR's. New coil overs and to yield 3" of lift and a body mount chop and correct back space on some after market wheels and you can run 35" tires.

why out of the trails
seems to me that you could squeeze most anything, Iused to take my 2 blazer on the same trail I run my rubicon on, and same with my old solid axel suburban is it just because no one wants scratches on the side or is it more. if any o f you guys have nay pictures where you think it is tot tight post them, most of my trips are in CA but have been meaning to head to the PNW. it is a very cool truck.

depends on cab configuration. Regular cabs are over 2000 pounds. Crew cab f150s have similar payload capacity as the crew max.
