    2021 TRD...is it normal for the manual 4 wheel drive selector lever to move around quite a bit while driving? Thanks!

    Welcome!

    Yes, the knob attaches directly to the transfer case, so it will bounce around a bit and also vibrate a little. I wouldn't say that it's normal for it to move very far, though. Just a little bit when you accelerate, decelerate, and go over bumps.

    Welcome! And yup, normal. Mine does it as well. Also, be careful what you store in the shifter boot. When I first got mine I thought I had a driveline vibe, turns out it was just my sunglasses vibrating against the shift lever, haha.
