    ok...admitting my ignorance...I've never owned a 4wd before so i am unfamiliar with how the vehicle should behave while in 4Hi...I've got a 2020 SR5 CM with 4wd but have only used the 4wd (so far) to help pull my boat and trailer up the boat ramp...so when I go to turn (slowly), it feels as if the truck is struggling to turn in 4wd...is this normal? Dosen't struggle to turn at all when not in 4wd??

    That is what happens when you turn on dry pavement in 4WD. That is normal. Try not to do it often. Drive straight up ramp. Then turn 4hi off then turn.

    Yes, it does feel stiffer when turning in 4WD. But as stated above, try not to turn on hard dry surfaces in 4WD if there is any way to avoid it. That can bind up your 4x4 gearbox and cost $$$$ to repair.
