I really appreciate your thread on the 4WD systems of Toyota. I just bought a super clean 2000 Land Cruiser and do I understand you correctly that it is always in 4WD (more like a modern AWD) and that I do not need to shift into Diff. Lock in order to go through snow? I live in Minnesota, so it is helpful for me to know this. I notice that the shifter shows (4H, N and 4L). The lever is set at 4H all the time, but should it be in in N for better gas mileage? Either way the car is fantastic and will serve us well.

I have 2006 4Runner with Michelin MTX tires.. No lift.
Made it through 18" of snowmegedden just fine a few years back.
Thanks!
I dunno, I love the snow and when it dumped I'd go play in it in my Subaru and push some around with my front bumper, especially in recent years when we lived in the UP on Lake Superior. But that was a dry powdery snow.
In twenty winters in Alaska, it was rare to get a dump more than a foot deep, and I'd wake up at two am if I heard the plows in my neighborhood so I could shovel out the berm before it set up like concrete. If all the predictions come true, I think your snow is going to be more like that - a heavy, wet, heart attacking inducing mess. I'd wait for the plows and try to hire someone to clear out the driveway (but I'm older now...).

I hope this is helpful.
