I’m sure there’s some specifics but is this a 5th Gen thing, a specific transfer case (2WD/H4/L4 vs H4F/H4/L4 of the Limited) or…?

In the past, some 4Runners with a manual transfer case shifter and neutral position could be towed four down albeit against Toyota's advice.
There are people on irv2.com that have towed this way for thousands of miles but maybe something changed over the years. Maybe I am thinking of a 4th gen.
IIRC, Toyota has been advising against 4 down towing for a very long time but it was possible on select models. The prior generation Lexus GX and 80 Series Land Cruiser come to mind as detailed examples I have read about.
