    Hi guys I am new here but really need some help. I just bought a brand new 2019 Tacoma with Money from savings and Birthday form GPa that just died. Problem is I cannot get it to go into 4 wheel mode. The Dealer has not been helpful and the guys there even laughed at me saying it is not designed to do 4 wheeling.

    Are you sure you purchased a 4x4 model? The dial on my 17 is right by the climate control knobs and its as simple as turning it to 4hi...

    Dunno about a knob. I paid for this thing alomost in cash from the insurance money. The sales guy told me it gets good gas mileage for an offroad because it can do both. I don't have the window sticker anymore but it is a 2019 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road V6 Truck Double Cab 4x2
