I have never owned a 4WD truck and just like the ride, height, capacity, looks, cost, insurance, etc. of 2WD. I also have a 23' boat and the only time I have needed 4WD was in my back yard trying to put the boat back under a shed. This has happened 3 times as I can remember in over 30 years. 4WD vehicles are more prone to get mechanical issues and it's a waste to have this additional hardware if you don't have a need for it. If you go into remote areas off the main roads then you may have justification for it. Consider what you really do with your truck. I have seen so many 4WD trucks that sit too high to safely pull a 5th wheel.
My '02 D'max 4x4 sits about 2" higher than my brother's '04 F350 4x4 dually. That makes me about 4" shorter than current trucks, near as I can figure.
