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.
My truck is way too big for what you got that thing for. Too long a wheel base for off roading. Mine is more for work/hauling.
I have no idea what you're talking about so here's a bunny with a pancake on it's head
