so I have yet to be in a situation where switching it was required, I’ve typically just been proactive and anytime the road is covered or I see other cars having issue with traction. I would’ve just cut it over to four high however that would be a good test to see what the limit is.
I guess i'm confused (not having ever hard all-time 4x4)....why the issue? You can engage/disengage it on the fly at speed so essentially the only difference is turning a nob when you need it, and leaving it off when you don't.
Yep! Eastbound just past the tunnel, conditions weren't great but I didn't feel any issues with grip or anything like I was even on snow with the stock tires on the OR edition. Disengaged 4H around Georgetown on the fly.
1. Are you shifting on the fly from 2wd to 4hi on pavement in mixed snow conditions smoothly and at what speeds - I would swtich to 4H on the fly while driving at speed, and back to 2 with no issues
2. Are you using the rear differential locker switch in both 2wd and 4hi and does it lock...
I've been very impressed so far with the capability of the 6th gen (not that previous versions couldn't). It's now been through fairly ice packed off-road trails, deep crunchy snow that is easy to get stuck in....pushed through no issue...even with the chin spoiler picking up drag on the snow...
Ran most of the north Switzerland trail today, still some snow but totally passable and the real technical areas are all clear!
Played with crawl control some and still want to remove the chin spoiler
Curious, if anybody would want to meet up and maybe do some trails sometime in March, any generation…somewhere in Colorado, likely the front range. I’m fairly new to having a 4runner but seems like it’s quite a strong community!
Nice video, congrats on the first outing. Being closer the front range for me, I haven't gone on any trails like that! Lots of snow around here still but the multi-camera is AMAZING for really threading a line. Very fun and enjoy sir!

Just heard from a dealer in Lincoln, NE about a Trailhunter that is open to grab still

Well, being 6’6”, this is the first model I don’t feel crunch into, so very happy about that. Even dropped the sear at low as it’ll go!
you can always add height on your seat, not take away easily.
Just north of Nederland, not sure the trail name.
Edit: the red line was the route taken, blue marker was the photo and red X was a stuck Telsa Cybertruck
Ran into some 4th and 5th gen folks on some trails today, very fun to chat with and sounds like the first time seeing a 6th gen in the wild. Loving it so far!
I'm nearing 900 miles, having picked up the unit Wednesday as well. Good to know I finally found the break-in suggestions. I do find them a little vague on speed on consistent. Too late now!
