new GMC 1500 2x4. No one needs 4x4 anyway
Got wife 2018 GMC 1500. No one but famers,ranchers, ult. company, cops, logers, and people up in Canada need 4x4, just something saleman sell people who have good credit anyway. Waist of money.

I forgot. Do we need 4 wheel drive or not?
NEED??
Well, actually, No.
Is it nice to have once or twice a year?
Oh, yes.
Did I live without it for many years?
Again, oh, yes. I started driving in 1958, and got my first 4X4 in about 1972. I remember it well, it was a 1960 Chevy K10 long narrow box, gutless 6 cylinder, 4 speed manual tranny. I rebuilt and installed a 283 V8. Woke that truck up real nice. Still needed to put six 70 pound sandbags in the bed all winter!
In fact, there are sandbags in the back of my truck right now, plus a heavy fiberglass topper on it. In the current cold and snow, I would rather drive the PT Cruiser. It is warmer, and the front wheel drive with M&S tires is great on snowpacked roads!
