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...

Taken a step further, a winch is for the guys who have 4wd drive & thought they could go anywhere only to find out that they really only have 2wd, then need to pull themselves out with a winch.
???? You either have 2wd or 4wd and if the driver/owner hasn't figured out which he has he be in real hurt.
At any point with 4WD only 2 wheels normally have power going to them. A front wheel & a rear wheel. A 2WD only has power to 1 wheel, the one that is spinning joyously.
This is totally false. Have you ever seen the inside of a differential?
You're kidding right? It is totally true unless you have limited slip or other locker. Open diffs, all power goes toward the wheel with least resistance. Most 4WD trucks do get ordered with limited slip in the rear axle, but plenty of them don't.
