Every place you look, every dealer it's all 4 X 4's. I have a 4 X 4 and never use it. Why is it so popular? Is there anyone out there that has a 2 X 4 and is unhappy with the truck? How about with...
I've owned on 4x4 but went with 4x2's on my last two trucks for the reasons stated. I think I used the 4x4 feature twice in the four years I owned it and the 4x2 is usually less expensive and a slightly higher payload. Of course you do have to use extra care if you traveling in snow, sand or soft ground. So far I've never gotten myself stuck.
