Thank you guys a lot for providing the information. It is really very helpful.

Hi there, I have a 4th gen 2008 4Runner and really love it. It has switchable 2 wheel drive (WD) and 4WD, which is a very good feature. Namely, you can turn the switch to set the car into 2WD or 4WD mode. I am just wondering if 2010 - 2017 4runners, namely, the 5th gen ones, still have the...
