For what it's worth.
When I was looking at new rv's last year, I was told by two rv dealers that the Promaster FWD spins on dirt/gravel when weight is added to the rear, to be careful loading it.
So, I went with Ford this time but when I towed a boat using ramps, I was glad to have a 4x4 TC.
Too many ramps had very shallow water and I had to bury the rear end in order to get my trailer deeper to launch and retrieve. The added weight and drag of water on the trailer would be a deal breaker for me.
