Hi,
I need some advice on driving my 2006 4runner in the snow. I loved my '98 that I could lock in 4wD and standard transmission went anywhere, but this new beast -- 2006 automatic transmission v8 4runner -- slips and slides and fish tails around on my snowy mountain road. I called toyota and they claimed there was a way to lock or keep it in 4wd. Anyone know how to do this? Any other great advice on driving an automatic transmission effectively in the snow? (And I'm oh so so sad that toyota doesn't make manuals any more .... =( )Thank yoU!

 

isnt there a pic of 4 tires and a drive looking shaft button, if u hit that button it locks it in 4wd other wise u are always in awd limited slip right?

 

Something similar to this button

Might not be on the dash, might be behind the shifter


I know on new highlanders the button actually says "LOCK" right on it

 

Ya gotta hit the tcase diff lock....

 

Feel a little stupid, but DEFINITELY appreciate the help.
