2wd or 4wd?

Re: 2wd or 4wd?

I personally wouldn't want to live with out 4wd in a truck again. But where I live it snows and trucks being so light in the back get stuck so damn easy. Its just added insurance at the boat launch too.

For use in Florida: save money up front, save on maintenance and save on gas with 2wd.

It would be awfully hard not to notice that in a part time system. You'ld have to be asleep to not notice it on the first dry turn.

Well, I was being generic but I've heard it more than once when the female driver of the household happened to be the one driving it. Depending on the system, I don't think you can just mistakenly click into 4lo as more user input is required such as in neutral, sitting still etc.

Re: 2wd or 4wd?

Don't know if anyones mentioned it...
However, I have a 2wd Dakota w/318...it'll tow almost anything I can attatch to the hitch.

I've had no trouble with lauching/recovering boats, and if the ramp looks sketchy I simply deflate my tires a little(down to around 30Psi), grab the boat, then re-inflate with my portable air tank(if up north), or when I get home(about 2 miles from the launch).

I've also gotten into the habit if running my tires "on the low side" when I drive in the winter. I live in "the frozen tundra" of NE Wi and have another house in the Northwoods. Not my primary vehicle, but it's seen it's fair share of snow. Three tubes of sand, and a good driver have never been stuck yet!
