Two wheel driving a pickup for 18 years in western PA (15 Dodge Dakota, last 3 with a RAM.
Can honestly say I almost got stuck once in the snow, never while towing boat or trailer.
Last year I finally bought some sand bags to throw in the bed. I figured it would help with the slipping and sliding. They come out in the summer...we camp in CG's that normally have paved or gravel roads. No off road for us. The gravel can occasionally cause a bit of spin if backing up hill...easily overcome.
Do I wish I had 4x4...maybe once or twice a winter. Rest of the time...it would be an unused button on the dash
