H = High - Regular Driving
L = Low - For use when you need low end torque (ie. You are pulling someone out of the ditch)
N = Neutral - You won't move

Keep it!

You got it for nothing... what do you have to lose?

Congrats!

I would drive it for a bit as well, if you got it cheap then it doesn't owe you anything. They are very comfy trucks.

I have a 2004 gx470. I am interested in why there is a neutral I know why there is Low and also High But the neutral is ?? for what purpose. Is it there so you can shift to high or low by always having to pass through neutral .
