OK ...... this is getting a little off topic from “camper on truck” , but when I hear someone say their 4WD is costing them “thousands” of dollars I’m thinking to myself “surely they don’t take their vehicle to the dealer or shop for repairs and maintenance???
I understand not everyone “can” work on their vehicles, or “wants” to work on their vehicles, but I don’t believe “thousands”. I call BS on that one. Makes me wonder about operator abuse, and lack of attention to maintenance schedules (preventative). I like doing my own work, saves a ton of money, and in most cases I get a better quality repair or service. I just think we need to be fair when we’re saying “costs thousands over the life of the truck” how are we quantifying that expense to the owner, and if an owner isn’t capable or willing to perform his own work then that might be a good reason for choosing between the 2WD and 4WD option. Rant over- ;)
