05 F150 4x4 Question

I have a quick question. I was wondering if anyone is having the problem that I am having. I own an 05 FX4 with a 5.4. When I am in 4 wheeldrive it seems extra hard to turn and also seems like it is a struggle to go in reverse. Anyone else having any problems like this? I know that the steering isn't going to be like having it in 2 wheel drive, but it just seems tougher than my old truck.


Thanks

If it is on dry or even wet pavement, you are binding the front due to no slippage. You should not use 4x4 on dry or non-slip surfaces. Even dry packed dirt does not really slip enough when turning tightly.
