How to Use 4 Wheel Drive Mode on Your Toyota Truck

Discover the best tips for engaging 4x4 modes on your Toyota trucks with Toyota Tip Tuesday! Learn how to switch to 4 High and 4 Low for optimal performance.


"Welcome to this week's Toyota Tip Tuesday. Today we'll be showing you how to engage 4x4 modes on your Toyota trucks. To put the vehicle in 4 high, slow it down to about 70 kilometers per hour and then push and move the switch to 4 high.  If you see the 4 high lights flashing on your dash, you may need to accelerate and then decelerate to lock it in.

To engage 4 low, stop your vehicle, place it in neutral, and then switch to 4 low. Once the light on the dash is no longer flashing, 4LOW is engaged. Thanks for watching, and we'll see you next time."
