4x4 is what you want for resale purposes. I also believe it's better to have it and not use it then to need to use it and not have it.
You're thinking of a gun. If you're careful enough,and pick your lines, you should be ok.I took my 4x2 to glamis last year, and didn't have probs. i didn't push it though. Bring a shovel in any case. or if you have atv load ramps, those work well too to get you out of a hole.:futwice:cleoent said:4x4 is what you want for resale purposes.

well put ... I agreeTitanBlue said:4X2 cost less, weighs less, tows more, get better mileage, performs better and works great with a Detroit Truetrac LSD, seamlessly providing solid traction, without switching to 4X4, and does so all the time. 4x2 is a great way to go! I have no reason to have any regrets. Nope, none...![]()
Few people really NEED 4x4. If you live in a place that receives frequent snows, then guess what? They have adequate equipment to take care of the roads (meaning snowpack, not ice...since nothing helps w/ ice)tnsxsear said:As I keep browsing this forum more and more. Ive noticed almost everyone here has a 4x4. Im kind of regretting buying the 4x2 for the fact I thought I was getting a good deal. I bought an '08 LE King Cab fully loaded minus navi with side steps, spray in bedliner, tow package, bug deflector, leather, bluetooth,etc.. for $28k otd. Im not a big off road guy. I ocassionally take my quad out to the desert or dunes to play but nothing that I would think I need the 4x4 for. Atleast I dont think so heh. Maybe im just thinking about it too much and should just enjoy what I have.![]()
I live somewhere where it snows a lot. It's also very hilly. The local and state DOT clear the roads eventually, but it generally takes 2-3 days for roads to get semi-normal again. During the worst months of winter, this happens every 10 days or so.matthews said:Few people really NEED 4x4. If you live in a place that receives frequent snows, then guess what?

I'd imagine the TruTrac would do exactly what my old 73 Nova with POSI would do going up a hill....spin both rear wheels until the rear of the vehicle slid sideways into a ditch. No locking rear end is going to do what 4WD will. But at least you won't be spinning one wheel going nowhere I guess.AF-Medic said:4x2 get no play here in Anchorage. You will see one or two( usually in the ditch). I would like to see how a Tru Trac one would do. The roads are maintained here but when it's nothing but ice on ice,a 4x4 is critical. I say get what you can afford and afford what you get. A 4x4 XE is 10x better than a 4x2 LE when it's winter here.
