Vc you sure? When mine goes in 4h the centre diff light comes on.... Can't say I have looked for a button like on the 80series though

In our model year it was only the top spec GLS model that got the" super select 2" system with center diff and rear diff locks.
I think it is in more variants now tho?
Yours will have the "easy select" 4wd system which is the same as most other brands and shouldn't be used on high traction surfaces.

100% sure the misti triton with super select, has a center diff allowing AWD on high traction surfaces. This was the feature that made me head the Triton way, when I was originally looking at a Ranger.
Select dial has 4H, 4lc (locked center diff), 2H, 2lc. Both 4H and 2H are usable on the road.

I went from a '96 Prado which had AWD, and I got got used to being able to smash the loud pedal, and not being left spinning the rear wheels.

Ahhh that makes sense vc, have the glx r and didn't want to pay a heap more for me leather seats. Guess this was something else I missed it on

Fuel consumption and depreciation on my '17 XLT Ranger? Who cares- compared to my AMG sedan, it's basically nothing. The diesel mileage still pisses me off on the ute though.
