    I have a 4x4 tundra but I rarely use the 4x4 and when I do need it, it does miracles but again I rarely use it.

    4wd is like condoms. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

    Helps with resale, if you ever have to sell. You couldn't give a 4x2 away in my area.

    At the very least, cycle it monthly so it doesn't get stuck in 2wd. So much easier than repairs!

    Get an AWD 4Runner or GX. AWD is better for most circumstances. Cheers.

    Thought the exact thing with my second Tundra. Then traded it in for a 4x4. Better resell. More capable. Rarely need it but would rather have it.

    I have used 4x4 and it does great. I’m just wondering what up keep I can do to make sure it doesn’t stop working other then cycling through it sometimes.

    I think diff and transfer case fluid change around 60k but others may chime in. I’m sure most dont bother and keep rolling.
