One thing i do with my yota when im pulling my 12' trailer with weight on it ,is,, I will unlock my hubs,  and if im heavy or on a hill, i will start in 1st and low 4 in the transfer case and shift the transfer case from low to high in 1st, then carry on as normal.  Yota becomes a 6 spd at that time. Been doing it for years,  no issues..  

Yeah that can be done on the Hi-Lux too.No buttons for the transmission just levers.Front hubs are manual lock too.One thing I notice is you guys call them yotas we call them yodas....The latest Hi-Lux is all buttons.No fun to drive anymore.....

Wow sounds like my background… by the time I was around 26? I already owned around 45 vehicles lol … also they were telling me the same thing about the Willy’s jeeps and splitting gears with the transfer stick . Bob

I did not like the electric 4X4 controls on my 2006 F-250..  After 70-90k miles I do not think the automatic front hubs ever unlocked????

I have a 2005 f150 and I wonder the same thing but I can usually tell by the way the truck turns  but I definitely don’t feel comfortable with the truck aging lol just like me now my heater quit and I’m having trouble running down parts

Well I was sitting about, twiddling my thumbs and heard something about shovelling snow

Quickly stuck my hand up

So was handed a shovel and pointed towards the drive way 

End result was less snow on the drive

So I have pushed this white stuff off a drive 

Cross that off the list of lifes achievements lol
