4WD vs 2WD
I'll be shopping for a new (or new-ish) truck shortly for pulling a medium size trailer or 5th wheel. It seems like the vast majority of 3/4 and 1 ton trucks around here are 4WD, with jut a few 2WD...

I never needed 4x4 on my 2WD trucks...until I did.
I was moving my Father Inlaws camper into its spot for him. Grassy area. No signs of mud at all. No WD hitch
Backed the trailer in...went to unhitch And realized I had backed into very saturated soil.
Uncoupled the trailer. Put my truck in drive and the rear axle sank up to its hub in mud. Sad thing was...my front tires were sitting on pavement.
Had to have a buddy come and pull me out.
Next truck will be 4x4. (Unless finances dictate otherwise)
Thanks!
