My F350 4WD Dually has Limited Slip so wouldn’t that be 3 wheels driving (when it counts ;)
And, I don’t understand the argument of 2WD/4WD being light over the rear wheels, where I grew up and still today everyone puts weight (firewood, rock, sand, etc.) in the back of their trucks before winter...... don’t they do that out West?:@. Just joking guys- couldn’t resist:)
I haven’t had issues with my dually, but I’m not driving through “feet” of snow like some of you are. Where I wouldn’t want a 2WD Dually is on some of the wet and rutted farm roads we drive during hunting season where I can’t dig down through the muck to the hard pan, then I’m super glad to have the 4WD, but only drive about 3mph- don’t like getting my truck muddy :);)
