You mean that even the 1 ton rated trucks today have automatic hubs? I don’t even trust them on my half ton and up until recently the manual hubs were on the 3/4 ton Fords. I’m old so old school seemed just fine for me when I needed 4wd. If I got my feet muddy getting out and turning in the front hubs, that was on me for not being smart enough to realize that they should have been engaged already.
