    Maintained properly no reason it shouldn't last 200k plus.

    Who cares? This never shows everything anyway.
    I just looked it up in the manual on the Toyota website for the 2020 4runner.

    Four-wheel drive usage frequency
    You should drive in four-wheel drive for at least 10 miles (16 km) each month.
    This will assure that the front drive components are lubricated.

    Um... How are you supposed to do that if you're not driving off road? As we all learned in one of the other recent topics, we shouldn't be using four wheel drive on the road.

    I just kick mine on when going straight or in heavy rain if I just want to lubricate the system. Something is better than nothing.

    Cheers,

    Good thinking!

    I have been using 4wd every other weekend or so this summer, so I'm covered. But, in the winter I don't go off-road much. I have cycled it while going straight on side streets without problems.

    Too many mods and too much money
    I've got a dead end road with decent shoulders that I use to exercise the 4x4 and the ARB diff. I just ride up and back on either side switching in and out of 4hi to 4Lo so that the servos get some work as well, making sure to cross the pavement in a straight line. It may not always be 10 miles but I work it several times a year if I haven't been out on the trails in awhile. People look at me like I'm crazy, but I clearly am so it doesn't matter.
