First truck I towed with was an 89 GMC 1 ton 2wd. Had that for 5 years. No issues. 2nd Truck was 2002 2500HD 6.0 gasser 2wd had that for 10 years, No problems towing ever.
I don't drive my trucks daily so I never really needed 4wd. I could have used it one time when I sank in the backyard with a load of gravel with the old 1 ton.
I just purchased a 2017 3500HD gasser with 4wd. I just wanted it this time so when I go to the mountains out here during the winter I don't have to take the only front wheel drive car I have.
I have never really needed or wanted 4 wheel drive for camping. This particular truck checked all my boxes otherwise I would still be driving the 02.
