How do you engage 4WD in a Toyota Hilux?
I bit the bullet and paid the 25% Chicken Tax to import a Toyota Hilux into the United States. And I’m so happy I did! The vehicle is incredibly fun to drive. I haven’t figured out all of its features yet, though. How do you properly engage 4WD in a Toyota Hilux?

Congratulations on being one of the few owners of a
Toyota Hilux
in the United States! The process to engage 4WD in a Toyota Hilux varies depending on the type of shift.Before explaining how to engage 4WD, you should know that understanding how to select and shift into the correct gear can be a bit challenging, so you should read the owner’s manual carefully to avoid damaging your vehicle.
In general, if you want to shift from:
- H2 to H4 or L2 to L4: Turn the control switch and make sure you’re traveling below 62 mph. If you have a manual transmission, there’s no need to depress the clutch.
- H4 to L4 or L4 to H4: With an automatic transmission, you need to stop, put the car neutral, and then turn the control switch. For a manual transmission, you need to be traveling at or below 2 mph and turn the control switch while depressing the clutch.
Finally, if you want to save some money and help offset the Chicken Tax, you should use
