Question 4x4 under load?

I heard that in new trucks with the push button 4x4, that when its under a big load it will pop it out of 4x4. Is this true??
Im about to buy (in a month) my grandpas 97' 4x4 short bed step side Lariat and I wanna know if this is true. Im not gonna mud it like I did my 76"....heaven forbid.

Never ever heard of it, and have never had it happen on any push button rigs I've had.

I've seen certain chebbys having that problem if they killed the motor in a mud hole or something of that nature.

No, it won't pop out. Well if everything is working properly it won't. I have had no issues with my 98 lariat 4x4. Where did you hear this from?
