Are people on a gun forum, where there's never an excuse too good (or bad) for buying a new gun, really telling a guy he doesn't "need" 4WD??????
I don't own a 4WD for snow; I personally have found front wheel drive vehicles do better in snow than any 2WD pickup, bed ballast or not. I own a 4WD not for snow but for soft ground and mud, and I'm not talking about 44" Boggers-type offroading..I live in a subdivision
You don't need it until you need it...and the extra expense and loss of payload/fuel economy is worth it to *me* "just in case".
Hey, kinda like a firearm, right?
Yup. This is kinda like a G**** V 1911 thread after all.
Pick your poison.
Yup, we get some sissy snow fall by comparison to other areas but having owned and owning now there will always be a 4WD in my driveway. Just my personal choice. But I work mine. It does go places. It might not go with standard drive train.
