Thai - that for the reply, but my concern is driving in full-time 4wd all the time, including dry roads with the new V8 4runner. I'm old school (at 39 years of age), driving all the time must increase maintenace on the drive system, pending some slip designed into the system by the Toy engineers. Tires must wear more too, don't you think.

Personally, I like to throw the lever or push the button when I need it. Always been taught to go in 4wd before conditions warrant it.

For that, I'm leaning toward the V6. And I agree, the torsion diff doen't do much.

What your thoughts?
