You're completely misinformed on most accounts here. The last 4wd transfer case that didn't act well on dry pavement in 4wd was the NP 205 in early 80s pickups. Maybe some jeeps for a few years after that. Any new or newer 4wd can be driven as far as you want in 4 wdh on dry roads, however unnecessary.

My 2009 Tacoma 4x4 could not. You could feel the heat and smell the stink if you mistakenly left it on for a short while on dry hard roads.
And according to Ford F150 manual: "4WD should not be operated on dry pavement; driveline damage may occur."
The higher end F150s have a "Full-time 4x4" or AWD that can be left on all the time.
