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. :(

Lived in Michigan (out in the country) since I was a kid...always had 4x2 trucks. In 30some years of driving, only got stuck a handful of times and those times, a 4x4 wouldn't have helped.
For the last 15yrs towing 5th wheels, had a 4x4 for 5yrs...only used it once and that was doing something stupid...because I had it.
With the weight on the pin, that rear axle will give you a ton of traction. About the only nice thing, is you can drop in to low range and creep up steep campground roads. A cheap alternative, upgrade to a limited slip differential.
