I know NOTHING about Toyota's, and our "new" truck is a 2004 (and still too new!), but it's not unusual to need 4wd in this area. When we bought the 2004 down in Arkansas, putting it in 4wd, it was quite noisy; sometimes didn't even want to shift there. After using it some, it got quieter. With more use, it got almost unnoticeable, plus had a bit more steer than what I'd push it for before.
Still usually have to "warm it up" a bit at the beginning of winter, but the 4wd on vehicles really needs to be used now and then.
I don't do any off-roading....at least, not that the 20+ miles of gravel roads forces me to do. Lots of sand, lots of rocks & pebbles, and lots of winter snow and springtime mud - not sure how to survive without it. *lol*
The point I'm making is, if you rarely-if-ever used 4wd on the truck, then the components were stiff. Hell, with that few miles, probably weren't even broken in yet. So this is going to factor into the problem. Might not have been any "off-roading" going on, but maybe just turning too sharp for the still-tight gearing.

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
