There are a few issues identified in posts on this forum regarding 4*4 activation not being ideal early on. My experience is the opposite, I brought my vehicle home 300 miles on a snowing, cold, snow blind trip. 4 by 4 worked flawlessly, BLIS was awesome, it still saw the lines, LED headlights were awesome. Truly awesome truck. The fact that 4 by 4 activated in -25 C weather with no issues, brand new, cold outside when I picked up, pretty darn good..

It's not an issue, more like an anomaly. This happened on my 2011 exactly the same but it's only a one time deal. Some have suggested it's just the air being evacuated out of the line for the first time or rough assembly edges on parts wearing in. Bottom line is that it has worked flawlessly since.
