Only the premium V6 models have traction control. They also have ABS so if you have no ABS then you have no traction control.

And if you do.... How does it compare with the "T-Lok" I read about often in discussions about upgrading gearing?

traction control is different from a T-Lock.. traction control is an electronic system that senses if there is wheel slippage and will reduce the power the engine is putting out in order to regain traction.. a T-lock is a mechanical implement in the rear end of the vehicle that puts power to both wheels and physically makes both wheels turn (stock v6's turn only the right rear tire) which is known as an open differential

Is it possible to add T-Lock to a vehicle without changing the gearing? Does it improve bad-weather traction as well as track times?

yes you could add a t-lock without touching the gearing alot of people do them at the same time just cuz it would be a pain to have to open up the differential again just to do the gears..

in bad weather i believe it would help in straight line motion but u might have to be more careful in turning situations.. not completely sure about that though
