Soon to be 2020 SR5 premium 4wd owner. Correct me if i am wrong and add tips. From regular 2wd to 4hi coast straight line off the gas off the brakes around 35mph engine running squeeze plastic lock thing and rotate to 4hi and wait for dash to indicate engagement and then OK to accelerate and drive on off road conditions to prevent bind. This right? From 4hi to 4lo or from 4lo to 4hi - engine running idling shift tranny to neutral and step on brake squeeze lock thing push down on knob and rotate to 4lo and pray no grinding. Is this right? Can one go from 4lo straight to 2hi with tranny in neutral or first go to 4hi coast a little and then to 2wd? Best to shift in and out of 4lo with engine off? LAST QUESTION - FRIEKEN caps lock.... If for whatever dumb reason rear gets stuck on 2wd your only option is to go to 4lo since front wheels will not be rolling to be able to go into 4hi? Will be my first 4wd vehicle. Tips ALWAYS APPRECIATED FROM THE KNOW GUYS. If you gonna laught at me go ahead and get it outa your system to move on.
