Deciding if I should purchase a 2WD or 4WD SWR 3500 but need a little advice from those of you who have a 2WD or have had both. Total 5th wheel weight loaded is around 13,500 so do not need a dually and the SWR fits in my garage The other factor is the price. Can buy a 2WD this time of year for 5-6 thousand less than a 4WD.

While I've never owned or needed 4wd for towing since '89, clearly other RVers have different needs or desires that have been stated. But if what you say is true, your real question is this, 'is 4WD worth $5k more?' That is a huge price difference and extremely hard to justify the benefit. That difference is like saying ' I'd rather spend $5-6K for 4WD for miscellaneous needs than a similar amount for a diesel option that benefits every single towing mile.' For that price, I'll take the diesel every time. Oh, yeah that is what I did.:B
