Experience towing w/ 2WD F250, 2500 or other 3/4 ton

I towed for about 25 years with a 4X2 and only need a tow one time. Got stuck in soft grass at a campground site and was pulled out by a fellow forum RVer with a 4X4.

Could have used it one other time just for peace of mind when going up a very steep gravel incline to a campground. Made it ok but was spinning wheels and spitting gravel part of the way.

My preference is for 4x2 but need a 4X4 now since we are spending our time in Michigan winters now instead of going to Florida for the winter. :(
