my dad's F-150 has the switch for 4WD and 4LO by the flick of a switch it turns into 4WD he hasn't had it in 4LO at all, but if i had a choice i'd like to have the lever itself like we ave it in the JK. you work more with your vehicle and i enjoy that. lol we here it from all the ladies, "it's all about communication that makes the relationship" ahah

I wouldn't say you work more with the manual lever to engage. You just have to give it a little tug. Plus you always know the status of it. Manual trans and transfer case is the way to go!!!

I had the push button in my old chevy truck and it was ok, made the 2 inch body lift easier to install. But I love the manual shifter in the JK! Its much easier to work between 2 and 4, I was always afraid I'd burn out the actuator if I used it alot since I see alot of issues with them, its a shame they are doing away with manual shifters in alot of vehicles.

I like the lever, never had anything with the push-button.

I like the lever myself as well but in all reality it's the same as our electronic swaybar disco's and lockers.
