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.

Front wheel drive is great on snow packed roads.
Even rear drive with good tires and a little ballast.
I think some of the big difference of opinion comes from location.
Where I live (Pacific Northwest) we haven’t got an acre of flat ground. It’s hills everywhere.
We only get occasional snow and it doesn’t get hard packed.
4WD trucks and all wheel drive cars are everywhere here.
That front drive or those sandbags won’t cut it when you have to get moving on a steep slope on very slippery snow, that isn’t the crunchy good kind. There are times I’ve had to chain my 4WD.
In less mountainous parts of the country, you can drive a 2WD with sand in the back and wonder why we can’t.
