4WD or 2WD
Looking at buying a used diesel PU. I don't really need 4WD, but there aren't many 2WD for sale. I am looking at getting a Ram 2500 Diesel from 2006 to 2010. Are the 4WD Ram 2500's taller than the ...

Most of my trucks have been 2WD. Everytime it came time to trade-in or sell the truck out-right, whether the truck was 2WD or 4WD usually became a bargaining issue---especially up north. Decided to spend a few thousand more and go 4WD with our last truck. Did this for the ease of selling and added resale value---not because we thought we'd ever use it.
Anyhow, as luck would have it--after owning our truck for over 3 years, 4WD saved our butt for the first time ever a couple nights ago. Had to make a u-turn on a 2-lane road in the middle of the night, in the middle of nowhere, with zero cell-phone coverage. All I did was back the rear of the truck off the pavement a few feet to make the u-turn. Put the truck in drive to pull forward and the rear tires started spinning. In just a second or two the rear tires sank down to the rims. I actually tried to get unstuck for about 30 seconds before I remembered our truck had 4WD--lol! Ala, put the truck in 4WD and all was good in the world. Nice!
