Why do people buy 4wd? (EDIT: I meant for TC use.)
Well ... for a few reasons. First I bought my truck used so I had no choice ... the truck came with 4x4 (which I did want). Second, winter/snow provides the most opportunity for me to engage and utilize 4 wheel drive capability and every Canadian winter I think I'm happy I have 4x4. Rarely do I need it in non-winter months as we stick to asphalt and tame gravel roads for the most part and where we drive, hopefully I'll never need to engage 4x4 with our TC.
Besides, with the weight and completely different handling properties of my truck with the TC mounted, I don't like going up a steeply angled gas station driveway let alone take the whole set-up off-road. But hey, that's me and to each their own.
