Shifting on the fly from 2WD to 4WD?

One of my Land Rovers had this sticker on the center console in front of the shifter. I’m sure people still messed it up.

 

THIS

 

smooth as butter in the snow when you hit 4HI

 

My mind trying to figure that out:

 

You not only switch from 2 to 4wd while moving but also when switching back... just make sure when switching back there's no load on the drive train (take your foot off the gas.)

 

it was a rental and a bit of a POS all round

 

I've shifted back in forth in and out of 4wd at 40 mph with zero issues. Its amazing how smooth these 4wd systems in the tacoma are vs my older gen1 tundra. You just turn the knob and the green led comes on. You can't tell otherwise when 4wd is activated its done so quiet, and slick.

 

This is key - it's not actually the speed of the truck that matters, it's the speed of the wheels.... don't put it into 4H while the wheels are spinning on ice or you could break something. Stop the truck, engage 4H, then give it the beans

 

Thanks TW you guys are the best

 

That all looks perfectly



to me.

 

Page 248 of the manual...



Shifting into 4wd, you need to be below 100kph...

To shift back into 2wd, you can be going any speed.


On the west coast here, we have had lots of four wheel drive fun... a powdery 30cm dump a couple days ago.

 

I would have checked the manual instead of asking here, but I can’t read

 

If I was capable of deciphering this wry comment, I likely would be upset.

 

And, Unfortunately I don’t have the time or Crayons to explain it.

 

The 80’s called they want their owners manual back

 

Former Dodge owners?

 

Those shifts from 4th to 5th, and 17th to 18th are a particular B*tch!

But you've got to love getting to 9th!
