    Toyota didn't put lights on the 4x4 knob because you can easily find it and you know if your're in 4hi or 2low because it shows in the gauge cluster

    Thank you sir for saying it better than I. Believe me, I love a lever and switchgear with a firm tactical feel, as much as the next gear head. But in an almost $40k daily driver, it better have every single creature comfort available in a $25k Hyundai/ Kia.

    I agree. If they are going to use a knob for 4wd, then they ought to light it up.

    Uhhh. you are kidding right? That is obviously not my truck... but it was the guy 2 in front of me. I don't think his solid front axle detracts to much from the other 3 pics of mine, or the 109 other posts. ;)

    Sorry, don't know you, to know if that was sarcasm. Enjoy your day.
