4WD speed question

[SigPig94]

Hi all:
I was told by the dealership that I should NOT exceed 35mph when I have my 4Runner in 4WD, specifically 4H….just curious if this sounds accurate because what about highway driving in heavy snow/bad conditions/etc???
Thx for any advice and other tips on 4WD usage!

The BS that some dealers are dishing out is getting me annoyed. Ask them for a reference in the owners' manual. There they will find this (p408 of Hybrid manual) (and consistent with what Nodak said in the linked thread):

"Shifting from “4H” to “2H”​

1 Reduce vehicle speed to less than 62 mph (100 km/h).​

2 Push and turn the front-wheel drive control switch to “2H”."​

It would be hard to "reduce vehicle speed to less than 62 if you are supposed to max out at 35. UGGH
