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

The OP asked about towing, and it seems that most prefer 2WD. I agree, if that is the only use. But 4WD has benefits beyond towing, such as really rough roads, steep hills, crossing streams, light snow (but not ice), and getting across mud holes. I have used mine for all of this and more in just the past year, as well as for towing a 5th wheel. So one should consider all the uses they expect to be facing before deciding for or against 4WD. This might also help explain the difference in resale value.
