Am I the only one who.....

accidently shifts into 4wd trying to turn up the AC? I've done this twice recently. I'm blaming early-onset stupidity, but I'd really feel better if I don't suffer alone. Thank you.

 

Nope, i also do this frequently! Youre not alone

 

Can't recall doing this in 6+ years of ownership.

 

I've never done that in either of the 2nd gens I've owned over the years.

 

yeah nope.... ac controls are far away from the 4wd switch IMO.

 

I had a 2002 F-150 that was close enough to cause confusion. On my 07 Tacoma they are far enough apart that I have a hard time imagining that happening.

 

Never have done that.

 

Nope! Never!

 

I've only joked about it, never done it.

 

5 1/2 years and never done this.

 

Hasn't happened yet.

 

Never done it... but I don't drive intoxicated either so

 

Nope not even after smoking the Mary Jane.

 

Did it once, at night.... Now I'm always conscious of it.

 

Did it a couple of times when I first got my '16. The 4x4 control knob is right next to the fan control and feels very similar (I wish they would of at least made it a push in then turn to activate) so I placed a sticky note over top of it for a while until I built up the muscle memory of where each switch was.

 

No, you aren't the only one... The sudden "thud" is usually my first tip-off that I goofed up, again... and again. I sometimes like to start my truck twice too. I just blame my passengers (when applicable) for distracting me because I am perfect and never do anything wrong, ever.

 

I've not done it, but comes up here on TW with some frequency.

A lot better than some trucks with 17 speed transmissions that put a transmission dial right next to the AC controls. Apparently not unheard of these days for owners to adjust the AC at a traffic light and when it turns green hit the gas only to smash backwards into the car behind them!

Oh yeah, and Checkov died because of an overthought and poorly implemented transmission control in I think it was a Jeep. Amazes me what controls some auto design teams think need "improvement".

Push to turn for 4WD would be nice, not to mention lighted as well!

 

I guess im old school i like the shifter in the floor better like on the first gens

 

Fat fingers,huh
