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.
Wow - semantics. Everyone can see your Tundra bias. Your definition sounds like "full-time" to me - it's just smart enough not to use it until needed, saving gas and wear. It will kick in in milliseconds -- is that fast enough for you?

I bet you'll be the first to trumpet what a great feature it is when Toyota adds it to future Tundras.
