So....why do you need a 4 wheel drive. All wheel drive. 4x2 ?

I would rather have a open diff 4x4 than 4x2 with a locker.

Just about every truck I have ever had was a 4x4- but my FAVORITE truck out of all of them was my 2wd Tundra SR5 w/ TSS package. I don't hit the dirt as much as I used to, so I definitely did not miss having a 4x4. But my current truck is a Ford F150 4x4, and I have yet to use it in almost 3 years... and that includes quite a bit of hunting and fishing.
Go with what fits your needs. No one else is making your payments, so who cares what they think.

I can't remember the last time we didn't need 4X4.
I love it when people try to equate their 4X4 grocery getter with my man-mobile.

Ill admit that I was a little short sighted with my list. Some people do have to work in the mud, I suppose.
I’m not getting out in a muddy field and busting up a 30k draper, so there’s really no need for me to drive my pick up through it either. I try to stay on road as much as possible!

We then either import or export dirt onto or off of the site. We install pipe from 3'-30' deep and backfill it. We final grade the site and then we eventually pour concrete on top of it....all in an area that averages 104 days of rain per year with an average annual rainfall of 50".

I always laugh about that one while I watch some dork drag MY chains and strap through the mud to hook up to his truck so I can pull him out.

I have done things and pulled things with a 3/4 or 1 ton 4X4 pickup that most people wouldn't believe.
But I know who you're talking about.

If you’re driving around in the mud all the time, I’d say you need to:
A. Fix/Re-think your road situation
B. Get an ATV
C. Do whatever it is you’re doing when it’s dry
Yeah, that would mean I was out of business. Also, I’m not necessarily using 4wd because of mud. Plowed fields, soft sand, and driving through washouts is easier in 4wd.
