Using 4WD Hi on dry pavement
I have a 2005 Titan SE. Question pertains to using the 2WD-4WD selector knob. The manual says stay below 62.5 mph when using 4WD HI. It also cautions, but does not prohibit, using 4WD HI on dry pavement. What will be the consequences if I do? Manual says tire wear and gas consumption are the results, but does not mention mechanical harm to the vehicle.
Can I safely use 4WD HI in the winter for extended periods? I don't like changing back and forth between 2WD and 4WD HI, especially if there are occasional icy patches on an otherwise dry pavement.
One person told me no problem has long as I had VDC option, but my truck does not have it.
Help, please?
