New truck 4x4 questions

I recently bought a new Tacoma, but I never put it in 4x4 before I bought it or tried 4x4 on any of the trucks I test drove. When I got it home I was playing with the 4x4, and I am wondering if it is normal for it to not go into 4 low from 2 high when stopped and in neutral with the clutch in or out (tried both). It has no problem from 2 hi to 4 hi, then 4 hi to 4 low. It also makes a clunk when shifting the transfercase. The rear diff lock also seems slow, but I am more familiar with ARB lockers and manual shift transfercases. Please tell me if this is normal, or if it is something that I will need to take back to the dealer. The truck only has 1000 miles on it.

It also has an occasional slight vibration at idle, but I think that is normal because most of the trucks I test drove had a small vibe.

Thanks for the help

 

You must be in 4Hi before the case will shift to 4Lo. In neutral and clutch all the way to the floor if you have a manual. E-Locker is slower to engage versus an ARB all day long.

 

Normal. Has to go into 4hi before 4lo is available.

 

Thanks

 

I think after you get in 4HI (while rolling) you then have to stop (or 2mph) before putting in 4LO (4LO engages after you move a few feet)

 

This card explains it clearly.
