Speed limit to engage/disengage 4H?

[dmac72]

Is there a maximum speed for engaging and disengaging 4H? If so, where did you find that information?

I'm coming over from a Tacoma and there was specific guidance in the manual that said you could engage or disengage 4H while driving up to 45mph (I think that was the number). The only thing I have found in the manual for the Ranger Raptor is about making sure the vehicle is stopped and in neutral when shifting into and out of 4L. But nothing about speeds for shifting into 4H...

I was prompted to think about this because I mistakenly clicked the drive mode wheel too far while driving and went into Baja mode. It engaged 4H silently and without issue when I did that, which is what got me thinking.

The truck will tell you when you can't shift into a certain mode. For example, if you push 4L while on the move it'll prompt you to stop and going into netural first.

In short - it won't let you do something it can't do. I don't think it's in the manual because it seemingly can change into 4H at any speed, just like going from 2H to 4A/4A to 2H

I've also locked and unlocked the rear diff without stopping too - the drivetrain on the RR is just incredible

Ok awesome. Thanks for the insight. Good point about how if in 4A, it would presumably engage/disengage at any speed. I figured that was the case from my accidental slip into Baja mode, but nice to hear someone else's intentional or unintentional real word testing. Thanks!

Some of the stuff they cover at Assault School in Utah. Can’t oversell it.
