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...

You dont need a 4 wheel drive to tow an RV. You wouldnt be able to pull the dead weight of an RV thru the terrain you need a 4 wheel drive for.
Crap. There's plenty of "everyday" dirt roads that having 4wd makes for a better, and safer, tow. (Hell, I'll run 4wd on the same road when NOT towing, because it's more comfortable.) There's plenty of unimproved roads that you can tow into with a 2wd, but 4wd makes it a whole lot easier. I travel one every year to our annual family campout. Running about 15-25 mph on a daily-use dirt road and running in 4wd makes a big difference in handing and ride. Once I get off on the side road, I could, and have, run it in 2wd, but why?, when 4LO makes it so much easier, both on me =and= my FW. I'm in no hurry...
