2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive
I’m looking at a new Ram 3500 diesel- why should I go with a four wheel over a 2 wheel drive. I's siding on a 2 Wheel. Pulling a Keystone RV Mountaineer 375FLF Fifth Wheels Hitch Weight 2,120 lbs...

As golf_bears noted above, you don't need it until until you need it, and then you'd wish you had it. I towed for several years with 2wd, and did fine except for one time when the slope was steep and the grass was wet. Kept a tow rope in the rig and counted on a kind neighbour to help me out. No big deal there.
At the end of the 2013 season, I traded out my older 2wd gasser for a 4wd D/A to accommodate a larger trailer. Timing couldn't have been better. Winter came to the midwest in a bit way, with 50 inches of snow on the ground versus our normal 25 to 30 over the season. While we didn't even attempt to tow in that, I can tell you that the truck in 4wd got me places that any 2wd vehicle couldn't have gone. Glad I had it, and wouldn't do without it again.
