2wd vs 4 wd?

Had already changed to having them hook up to their own vehicle after seeing
someone yell as a Good Samaritan (both shouldn't have owned 4x4's) bend his
bumper with a nylon strap...wanted the Samaritan to pay for a new bumper...left
them yelling at each other...no way would I ever blame a Good Samaritan for
that...
Give the end with a choker chain to the vehicle in trouble and tell them HOW2
hook up to their *FRAME* rail, not bumper

I was helping a guy and his family get out of the center median on I80 west of Yuma and had him hook it up as I told him I didn't see anywhere to hook it to and he wrapped it around his 5mph bumper. I told him it was not a strong place to put it and he insisted. Ok I pulled him but not very far , one side of his bumper tore loose and the bumper now was sticking straight out from the car.
I felt bad for them but I was done.We told the authorities at the inspection station where they were.
If we did a different kind of camping and stuck to paved highways and avoided freezing weather and no grassy rv parks, etc. And if we didn't need it to get up our drive a few weeks out of the year than maybe we would buy a 2wd.
We did buy a 2wd last year to replace our car. But it is a front wheel drive.
Our thoughts were if it is icy or snowing we will drive one of the 4x4s.
Well We needed to go get my MIL to take her somewhere and she has trouble getting in and out of the trucks.
I knew I could drive down our lane to get out to the gravel rd and then with some aggressive driving get up to the state rd.
Well the trip into town and back was fine but the trip down our gravel rd and then making the turn into our lane and up the hill ( 1/4 mile) was a real thrill.
My wife was laughing and said "WE have our very own Disneyland ride".
