Tires slipping in 4L...?

Be gentle, because I feel like this is probably a stupid question and I am overthinking.
This is my first 4 Wheel Drive vehicle.

2022 Tacoma Trail Edition
When I am in 4H or 4L, and I turn my wheel all the way to the right or left, the wheels doesnt seem to want to turn/shudder and you can hear them squelching on the ground.

This doesn't happen in 2wd.

My assumption is this is because the power that's now being transfer to those wheels is causing that, however I worry because I just go the truck back from the body shop after a front end collision, and I want to be sure the work was done correctly.

Thanks,

 

You shouldnt be trying/using 4wd low on dry pavement, even for a test. Ski

 

Do a search or lookup on "4wd drivetrain binding". Here's a good explanation (one of many).

Thanks for the education!

 

Avoid going into 4wd when pavement is dry. You can get away with 4H on dry pavement if you are going straight (but I can't think of many reasons to do this)

 

Having 4wd vehicles most of my life here’s my take.

I never use 4hi or 4lo on a road with good traction, especially dry pavement or concrete where the tires can’t slip …………IF you need to do it to diagnose something or work the drivetrain do not turn at all. You might need to reverse to get back to 2wd.
I did this last week when I put it into 4lo and locked on pavement to engage it all.

GM has a really good option called 4auto where it’ll act like AWD instead of 4hi, which is great for rainy weather or patchy conditions
