This whole argument will be moot sooner or later, within the next 5-7 years if you ask me.
2WD trucks will go the way of the manual transmission. 4x4 is so overwhelmingly popular, and 2WD sales are dwindling year after year. Eventually the manufacturers will drop the 2WD option, and with it all the specialized components required to make them, thereby cutting production costs.
Maybe, and I would not be surprised. But have you looked at service trucks? Most of the pickup trucks used by electric companies, gas, etc? Almost always they are 2wd, even in New England. Maybe more north they are 4wd, but all around me the vast majority of commercial pickup trucks are 2wd.
There's a place near me that auctions used commercial trucks, and regular cab 2WDs are the majority.
