You will get better resale value, but you won't get your money back.
If you pay $3000 for 4x4, your truck will not be worth $3000 more when you go to sell it. When I sell a truck it's used up, 10+ years, 200,000+ miles and rusted body panels. 4X4 would add about $200 to that truck's value.
If I never used 4X4, then I spent $2800 for no reason. I could have put that $3000 under my mattress for 10 years and been ahead of the game.
I think it depends on the region. Here in the PacNW....I recently sold my last truck. It was a 1995 F350, 4x4, crewcab, longbed, powerstroke, 5 speed. 200k on it. It needed some work, tires, balljoints, was grinding second since the synco's were worn....I sold it in minutes for $8900. Guy could not get to his bank fast enough. Granted, it is a desirable truck..but I can honestly say...if it was 2wd....if it would have been 2wd...I would have been lucky to get 3k for it. Speaking of my area of course, but I will say you get not only our money back...but more in some cases.
