    I recently got my Tacoma, my first 4x4 vehicle and I feel like my truck doesn’t move well while turning or reversing while I’m in 4H. The trucks R side rear wheel seems to slip and the car doesn’t move from its location until I absolutely force the veh to move and even that is a struggle. But it’s perfectly fine while it’s in motion and no issues while it’s two wheel drive. Any suggestions? My tires seem to have good thread , no alerts populating on the dash.

    Normal, with standard differentials it looks for the easiest path of power. Because the gas tank is on the left, it has more traction. So you will typically spin right rear.

    Lol it needs to be slick before you put it in 4wd. This is not an all wheel drive. Probably need to read the manual.

    Welcome to TW.

    I'm betting that your ground conditions are too good for 4H. You really don't need to be in that mode unless your wheels are already slippy. (Aka, low traction surface)

    Seriously, we're doing this again?

    Learn about your four wheel drive system. Sounds like it's functioning flawlessly. It will bind in 4wd when making tight turns on high traction surfaces.

    Thankyou everyone for these speedy replies. I live in Canada and it snowed a lot the last couple of days I was having the trouble on slippery roads too but again the road conditions go from really bad to really good summer days within couple of hours! I’ve been reading up on 4x4 vehicles and slowly learning.

    It's a learning process for sure. My 2021 Tacoma is my first 4wd vehicle and I didn't know anything about differentials and shit when I bought it. Took a 90 degree dry paved intersection the first week in 4wd because I didn't know any better. Fortunately I didn't break anything. The manual is a good read for sure as is this post https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/3rd-gen-traction-control-modes-explained.530695/

    Happy wheeling
