Modern pickups do not have either manual , or automatic, hubs. Everything is turning all the time. ( Seems like a big waste to me )The only thing that changes is the shift in the transfer case.
I agree with most of the posters. 4 wheel low is for off road usage. Slow speeds on dirt are fine. I use mine for backing up the hill into my storage shed when parking the TT. But, on the dry pavement at any speed over 5-10 mph is a No No.

Not true my 2013 has full manual hubs. Unless you physically turn in the hubs the front axle will not be engaged.
Is it a Superduty? If so, I think you are mistaken. If you look at the hub dial closely you will see it has AUTO and LOCK positions. You can force them locked, but you cannot force them unlocked.
But I've been wrong before.

In the auto setting they are still not in 4wd. Heck you can lock them and just not change your transfer case to 4wd and it's still not in 4wd. The parts are moving but it won't hurt anything.

Manual hubs have not been available on a Superduty since at least 2005. Not even with a manual shifter. I know because I would have swapped out my auto hubs a long time ago if they made them. That's where the 2WD/low range modification comes in that I mentioned above. I have not done that mod but it is pretty simple.
Don't know about other brands, but would bet they are similar.

I've never had the need to use the 4 wheel drive to limit my speed down an incline. The trick, for me, is starting downhill at a lower speed.
