This is EXACTLY why I sold my Tacoma for my JKU. Manual transfer to 4WD is beyond better. I had the same issue with my truck.

I’ve been off roading Ocala NF. for 30 yrs. as well as the rest of Florida and other states. My 2010 Taco has never had an issue with 4 x 4 high or low nor did my 1998 Taco. 2010 manual says you must put at least 10 miles a month on the 4 x 4 to keep it lubed. Hearing about these problems with the 4 x 4 makes me leery of buying a new one.
