Did any LTZ Avalanches come with the G80?

I am looking at a 2012 Chevy Avalanche as a replacement vehicle for my 2011 Chevy Tahoe Z71. I typically go through snowy conditions while towing trailers, so I would like to be able to get out of any situations.

Pretty sure all LT and higher had them - I know my 13 4wd LTZ did as part of standard features...

Thanks for the info!

You can always add the locker in case you find a nice truck if not equipped with the G80.

Either swap the entire axle from a similar truck (just make sure gear ratios match). Or do an aftermarket locker. Lots of options there: True Trac, Grizzly, ARB, E-locker, etc.

I'm not sure if the traction control electronics play well with those lockers, but I assume so, 'cause a lot of guys seem to swap them in.
