I’m coming from 4 wheel drive full size trucks and two suv’s. All but my earliest trucks had and an auto feature , but my 23 OR is part time 4 wheel drive. My first question is in patchy snow and ice, at what point do you shift into 4W. That was where I shifted to auto in my trucks.
Next question is mud. In my trucks I usually used 4HI when I got in rutted or deep mud, or even sand, but now with my OR I have many more options, but not sure if there is a better option than 4HI and use a little momentum to blast through mud. How do you more experienced 4Runner drivers go through mud? Is there a role for A track or multi terrain select in mud?
On a side note I tore off the air dam and punched a hole in my plastic skid plate blasting though a deep mud hole on my last truck, lol. This was a mushroom picking deal with my wife and 2 elderly dogs that could have went sideways miles from decent roads.
