Increased Engine Vibration and Noise when in 4x4

[Taco Number Two]

Anyone else get this? The engine vibration is more and noise is definitely louder when accelerating (lightly or moderately, not necessarily hard accel) in 4x4 than in 2-wheel drive. I’m ok with it if it’s a normal condition, but just curious.
My previous ‘22 V6 6-spd Tacoma was definitely smoother in 4x4, maybe because it was a V6?

Mines the same way, definitely an increase in vibration through the floor board, gas pedal and steering wheel when in 4x4. My 3 rd gen’s were the same way but I feel like my 4th gen is worse

I notice this also, feels like crap. My previous 3 tundras were smooth as glass in 4x4 at speed

Had same experience . I did post about this issue like 3-4 months ago . Went to dealership and they told its normal . I only get vibrations when driving above 70 km per hour below that its normal .

I can definitely tell the difference in steering wheel 'feel' in 4x4. Slight but noticeable light vibration. I actually don't mind it and sort of think it's fitting. Makes the truck feel rugged I guess.
