When the limited is in 4hi or 4lo the front and rear are locked together just like the other 4wd models.

I've read several times on this forum that the Limited Full Time 4WD is simply AWD.
I can't argue except to say, if it is indeed AWD the Toyota strategy is much different (better) than other AWD systems.
There's a spot on a certain gravel road I'm consistently standing and watching folks make a slow turn and up a small incline. Every single AWD car spins a tire making that maneuver. My Limited never has spun a tire.
