F150 King ranch 4x4 problem

So i have a f150 king ranch i love the truck but, when it comes to my fourwheel drive all the tires dont spin. The front left tire doesn't spin when i put it in 4x4 high or low it has gotten me really stuck before and i need help on figuring what might be wrong and what i should do to fix it.

There's nothing wrong,,,that's how they work.. lol

Only way you can get all 4 spinning is with lockers or L/S diffs in there.

Sometimes they do put a L/S diff in the rear.
Are both your back tires spinning?

Your rear probably has one if there both spinning.
I get most of my parts from Summit-racing.

You should have an 8.8 diff in the front of your truck.
You can also google it to find who has the best price on it.

It is not weird at all. That is function by design. Every 4x4 I've owned worked all the same. I had buddies put in lockers for some serious 4-wheeling, but they were all in Jeeps.

If you are getting stuck in snow, you may want to get a set of winter tread tires instead of all weather. When I lived in Alaska, I had a set of winter tread tires that I used and it made a tremendous difference in snow.
