Double check your info before you put something down for everyone to see your error. It does not have a full time 4WD. What it has and I quote "When engaged, AUTO/4WD detects rear-wheel slippage and automatically shifts into 4WD as road conditions dictate." You might as well have it in 4WD to begin with. Sounds like alot of wear and tear switching in and out of 4WD. And no matter how fast it switches in and out, if you are in a skid, its way to late to "kick in the 4WD" and save you. Its just another added feature that can fail/need repair.
