Sounds like the truck has a locker, while the car has a limited slip differential. They both work to provide power to the rear wheels equally, however while the limited slip allows for some slippage side to side, the locker basically acts like a spool with an on-off switch.

Here's some explanation for the different types of differentials: http://www.offroaders.com/tech/limit...ferentials.htm
