2wd vs 4wd
I looking to buy a diesel tow vehicle and there seem to be more 4wd trucks for sale than 2wd. I don't need a 4wd, but there are better deals on the models I have seen. I have always heard that anythin...

Ownership and maintenance costs only????
Very little cost to own or maintain. Well, I do guess the initial cost of buying 4 X 4 versus 2 wheel drive. But hardly anything to do for maintenance anymore.
Other than that, gosh no nothing I have had to maintain on, lets see???? 96, 2001, 2006 and 2014 Rams. 2003 Chevy. 2011 Ford. All 4 X 4's.
That's because you and I change vehicles frequently and live where it snows. I will always buy 4WD too, but that doesn't mean everyone should. 4WD trucks use a little more fuel, cost about $3k more up front and have more moving parts that wear and can break. That doesn't mean every one will have more maintenance, but they can't have less than 2WD. If I lived in Texas like the OP, I'd get 2WD.
