Full-time 4WD

The Torsen center differential permits front/rear speed differences, so unlocked full-time 4WD can be used on dry roads. It is mechanical on gas and hybrid builds; no fixed torque split is predicted.

Full-time 4WD · center differential unlocked; variable torque bias

How this works

Controls illustrate mechanisms, not the complete driving procedure or every vehicle interlock. Rear-lock demo requires 4L and loose ground. Toyota calls the unlocked full-time road mode H4F; center lock couples the shafts. No front locker is fitted. SDM changes articulation, not differential locking.

A-TRAC, Auto LSD, Torsen bias, Multi-Terrain Select and Crawl Control braking are not simulated. Wheel states do not predict actual traction, braking or safe speed. Both engines drive through the same mechanical transmission and driveshafts. Follow Toyota’s owner manual (OM35C28U pp415–423: stop wheels before rear locking; maximum 5 mph with rear lock).
