Experience towing w/ 2WD F250, 2500 or other 3/4 ton

I have towed with both, 4x4 and 4x2 for over 60 yrs but mostly with 4x2 since I seldom boondock and try not to go off road. I got stuck twice in all those yrs, once after a heavy rain and I was on grass going uphill towing, another time in sand as I was towing a TT. I will never buy another 4x4 as the 4x2 works for me. As far as lower resale value , I havent found that to be the case as I have always sold my vehicles at high book as I take care of mine
