AWD vs 4WD
I am looking at an 2011 F150 Limited... this model only (that I have seen) has the 2H, AWD, 4H transfer case... is it possible/feasible to change the transfer case to a later one that has 2H, AWD, 4H and 4L? or a same year case that is 2H, 4H, 4L (loses AWD)?
I love the looks of this specific model, colors, wheels, the lusty 6.2, etc... but really feel like will want/need 4L on occasion...
Any pointers?
Thanks in advance!

Yes I did the swap in 2014 on my 2011. It was all bolt in and I used the 2012+ transfercase which has 2Hi,4A,4Hi & 4lo. All you need is the transfercase and the dash switch. You will also need forscan to change the transfercase type in the TCCM which is the hardest part.

I didn't know that either, what a stupid idea, Its probably the same transfer case used in the Navigator.

That's great news to know it's possible to change it to the 12-14 case with 4L.
I was a tad worried when I bought my '11 limited about not having 4-Low but with the super low first gear and elect shift transmission and the TQ the 6.2 puts out I've never found a time I needed it in the last 5+ years and 45k miles.
Mine spends half the year in the Auto setting which works amazingly well compared to the old control trac systems in the older explorers and expeditions.
