Toyota dealership rant!!

[bbqfan5909]

That is the way I understand it bud. Only time mine goes into 4hi on the street is ice and snow.

Ok now you got my wheels turning. So 4wd hi (my truck) isn’t designed to slip like 4wd auto..........things are brewing inside now. So I really should try at all cost to not activate on concrete.

Toyota dealership rant!!

I've goofed and forgot to disengage coming from the lease a few times. 65-70 down 155. Still works fine. But its a Chevy.

I’ve been guilty before also. Didn’t notice till turning. It was a Chevy too- not mine, but it was a Chevy. [emoji16]

Hope I don’t forget in MY new Chevy. Lol

I worked for Toyota years ago and a customer engaged the 4wd in the lot and that **** thing made a hell of a racket , they told us never to drive in 4x4 on concrete as the wheels couldn't slip and would break something.

And another thing to add, you still have to turn off traction control in 4wd high (its not as simple as pushing the button, more to it). I learned the hard way.

But, about to roll 200k on my 15' tundra, been a great truck.

Dang, you got a lot of miles on yours. I got 166K on my ‘15 and I thought that was a lot. Lol
I do put it in 4WD often to keep things lubed, but always off-road.

i had a 2015 tundra and was using 4wd hi at the lease, forgot to switch it off and drove 400 miles home at 70 mph pulling a trailer, thought oh sh*t! Switched back to 2wd and never had any issues with it. I did the same with a 2000 Chevrolet 2500 I had before that. But I do not remember if that was in a 4WD lock or 4WD auto mode.

That's why I only mess with Ford.

Like several posters above, I have been guilty of forgetting to turn off 4wd and make long drives at 65 mph.

On several different trucks I've owned. . All have lived a long life with no I'll effects.

It's the loose nut behind the steering wheel

During a heavy snow storm , I drove from big springs tx, to San Antonio in 4 high, most of the time in heavy snow on I 10 it never missed a beat, however 8 months later the power steering pump was toasted
On a K1500 suburban

Driving straight there shouldn't be any extra force on the "system" and shouldn't pull to one side. If turning in 4 hi on dry ground or pavement you may sense it grabbing. Normal, but not suggested to operate that way. For what OP did, shouldn't pull to one side unless it is a hub or similar issue. I would take to a different dealer.

Lol at this whole thread.

So much bad information.

Edit: So I can be helpful. I would find a better service department.
