There is a speed restriction to activate 4hi (under 62mph) but no speed limit while in 4hi.
(partially) new Tundra coming?

Finally in expo white.
That sounds like some kind of soccer mom feature.
I liked my auto 4x4(NOT to be confused with AWD) feature in my old Chevy. I didn’t want to leave 4x4 on all the time and the auto 4x4 would activate at about the same time you realized 2wd was loosing traction. Faster than you could push the 4wd button.
Still though. I have seen XLT Crew cab 4x4 hd payload door stickers at or above 2500 lbs. ive even seen some crew cab 4x4 without hdpp above 2000. One was an XL with STX package that I looked at at a dealer.
I dont believe it can stay constantly on unless its very low power. At peak torque the electric motor is producing something like 48 hp which is 35 kW. The battery is only 1.9 kWh so that thing would be drained in 3 minutes at max power assuming no efficiency loss and that they even let the battery fully drain.
My guess is that it can only realistically provide peak power for a minute or so. For them to have it constantly on during extended towing it would have to be at such a low power it would be meaningless. Ive seen my Ecoboost produce 200 hp just towing my travel trailer into a headwind on flat ground, so the motor could only run for maybe 12-13 min max even only contributing 10 hp.

That's true because you have a Platinum. Those of us with XLTs are stuck in the 90s. It's a feature I care about as much as I do massage seats. Those are 2 things I'm guessing the new Tundra doesn't have as options. I'm pretty it's a different transfer case on Fords which means the dealer can't just program it to the truck.
I've heard about these high playload F150 on the internet. We were looking at super cab 6.5' bed trucks at a local dealer. The highest was 1800 on a XLT. 350lbs more than our Tundra but not enough to keep us from a 3/4 ton.
Actually, you can just program the truck. Forscan can do it in about 5 minutes if you want to swap between 4Auto or regular 4x4 tcases. A few people have swapped the 4Auto tcases in.
Which engine were you looking at? An XLT will obviously be lower than an XL in terms of payload, but a 2021 XL is yesterday’s XLT. They are pretty nicely equipt.

I only looked at trucks with center consoles. Super cab trucks aren't common. Crew cab trucks are the new minivan?
My point 4auto was that it required a t-case swap. It's not important to me. I drove around all winter in 3wd because I had a blown hub?

Wo wo wo wo wo….. hold on there. I’ve got both. For minivan duties, no truck holds a candle to the almighty minivan. If it were more socially acceptable and if my wife would sign off on it, I’d have another Sienna as a daily driver. Neighbors, especially ones with kids, might look at me side-eyed, though ?

Correct. Different transfer case on Lariat and above.
Snow mode just reduces throttle input from a stop to help you get moving. (in 2HI or 4HI)
4WD still needs to manually be activated by turning the knob from 2HI to 4HI. Snow mode will not activate the front diff by moving this knob from 2H to 4H for you:
Something that I was hoping the Tundra could do for me by offering Auto 4x4.
Bingo. Very handy for highway driving in the winter.

It looks like you just got here, yeah?
That is, surprisingly, worse than I thought it might be. My pretty much loaded Lariat F150 supercrew long bed has 1560 lbs.

I always find one thing strange with Toyota pickups that is you can't get a rear locker in lower trims as an option.
You have to go to the higher trim to get it as a part of the trim such as TRD or TRD Pro.
I personally would like a lower trim truck, with a higher payload than TRD, and a rear locker as an option.
I know it easy to trash Ford, and maybe there is some truth to it, but you can get the FX4 package on XL models. while it is virtually imposable to get one on the SR or SR5.
A very basic F-150 can have a factory rear locker. I saw one in a hunting resort in south NJ.

Hmm. Yeah, that's not great. I was hoping for a little better. Guessing that means an SR5 crewmax would be worse?Video: The 2022 Toyota Tundra SR5 Work Truck Is More Interesting Than You Think – Here’s Your First Look!

Guess when the time comes, I'll just have to look at the door sticker on the actual truck I am interested in.
