The rear Rubi D44 axle is slightly different than the non-Rubi's. But, don't let that term "next gen" or "HD" fool you. The Rubi transfer case is described in the parts manual as "Generation I" and the non-Rubi's are "Generation II". Those are just terms sort of like "executive", "professional", etc. My X has the same description for the rear axle on its window sticker. I suspect that product marketers have more say in what goes on there than engineers--and they are more interested in selling the customer than being clear and forthright (From my USAF contract negotiations days: Know how to tell if a marketer is lying to you? Check to see if his lips are moving).
