While I do believe that the "clunk" as you describe it is "normal", and happens on our vehicle as well, I always try to take it easy when engaging 4wd. I tend not to go heavy on the gas until after the clunk. If we shift into 4wd (from a stop) and then stomp the gas, the "cluck" turns into more of a "slam" - - not good. While I think newer vehicles like yours tend to maybe shift smoother than older ones, I always like to be as gentle as possible, just to save the wear and tear on the drive train.
