    I’m new to the truck game so bare with me please I have a 2017 Trd sport stuck in 4 low it doesn’t go into reverse or drive just blinks at me that it’s stuck on 4 low and if I put it in neutral it still won’t switch to 4h or 2wd only way I’m able to get it out of 4low is if I push the truck a few feet or inches! It did lock up on me while
    I was going in reverse in my drive way. Did I just lock my differential and just too dumb to even realize it?

    I bet u have a shitton of traction if ur in 4lo on dry pavement

    try it again on the dirt, getting it to shift is tricky

    i usually need to be rolling 2-3mph, put it in neutral, then turn the selector, wait for beeping to stop, then put it in drive, all while rolling

    Did you wash the truck about the same time?
    I ask for two reasons- it’s in your driveway and the rear drums are notorious for sticking together after getting wet with parking brake set.
    Just a random thought.
