height of 4x2 vs 4x4

rfs830 · 09-25-2006, 07:17 PM

I cant decide if I want 4x4 or not. I dont think I will use 4x4 as I dont really go off roading. I do work in some in brick laying but dont think I would need 4x4. But i would not mind having it for when I will need it. Now the main question. How hight off the gound is a 4x2 and a 4x4. I see some truck are as much as a 2 inch difference. Now I want my truck to be easy to get in and out of and not to be too might. What do you all think.

I also ask as this will be my first truck. I have alway only driven a front wheel drive accord. I live in KY and we do get some heavy snow. I just want to make sure I can get where I need to go in a 2 wheel drive truck.

Thanks in advance.

The height difference is 1" between 2 and 4 wheel drive. I would especially suggest 4wd if you get snow. I and a few of my friends now regret not buying a 4wd in the first place. It is a cheaper investment to do it in the first place.

Don't be foolish! Go for the 4X4. You'll be sorry if you don't. If you use it only once when you needed it, it's worth it. The first time you need it and don't have it, you'll kick yourself.

I don't need it often, But it is great to have + it helps resale. I was going to buy a 2wd but opted for the OR 4X4 and love it!

well if it only 1in difference then I might as well go with the 4 wheel drive.

I bought aftermarket steps, becuase I have little ones, and they have no problem getting in and out.

I just bought a 4x4 2 weeks ago because the first Titan I bought was a 4x2 and regreted it everyday.I only had the first one 6 months.

i got 2wd for 2 reasons

1. i live in the south, so it is useless to me.
2. the front does not slip, greatly limiting the actual use of the 4x4
