System and methods for managing and visualizing torque distribution in vehicles equipped with differential lockers and/or individual corner motors. According to certain examples, the system collects data from various sensors to determine torque values. A lookup table establishes safe torque thresholds based on driving conditions, particularly angles from articulation and steering. The system compares calculated or reported torque values against these thresholds to assess whether applied torque is within safe limits. Real-time visual feedback is dynamically displayed on an interior vehicle interface, showing both current torque application and maximum torque capacity for each wheel through intuitive bar elements. The system can issue alerts and impose torque limits automatically to prevent mechanical failures while enabling confident utilization of full vehicle capabilities.
