How to test out 4x4

Anyone know of a good way to test out the 4wd on a 04 f150 lariat during test drive to make sure everything works as it should?

If you just want to make sure it works drive off road and turn sharply with the 4x4 engaged. If you can feel a slight jerking/pulling coming from the front end it has engaged and is working.

Make sure to do the same test with the wheels turned in 2 and 4 so you can feel the difference without a doubt

Do this.

Have you never driven a 4x4 before?
