4x4 Switch - all 05+ models?

Do any 05+ tacoma's come with manual locking hubs and/or a mechanical 4x4 select lever (as opposed to electronic switch)?

Anyone have problems with this system?

My '05 taco had the switch, no issues during the 3 years/40k I had the truck.
No manual hubs available stock, not sure about the selector lever availability.

Ya, in 2000 they switched to ONLY ADD

I'm not 100% sure, but I THINK manual trans could be had with a mechanical 4x4 lever....

they switched to "only ADD" in 2001, btw.

No 05+ Tacomas have a manual shift transfer case stock.
However, it's not hard to swap in a transfer case from an FJC 6 speed that had a manual shift transfer case. Search Rocksolidtoys.com for more info on that.
No manual hubs offered from 2001 to now. No aftermarket options for the newer trucks either.
