First time I've played with one of these lame push button electronic switch things. While messing around we found a jackal. Kinda surprising....in the middle of a city.
Just call it a truck.
I had ONE truck with those push button 4x4 things and I hated it. Yeah, much more convenient because you don't have to get out in horrible weather and lock the wheels, but I just never trusted it. I also didn't have the stick for the front differential to choose between gears, all buttons. High or low, didn't like that. On the stick I think I have the high/low and a third super low and couple that with the 6 speed transmission, I got powerful 4x4 and total control.
There was no override system should the electronics go out. After talking with other 4x4 enthusiasts it was confirmed I made the right choice spec'ing out my truck. I didn't like that I had to roll backward 10 feet to unlock them too.
Have fun with your new toy! So you got the "lame" 4x4 - it still works as intended and only if you are as picky as me it shouldn't bother you and it does work.
