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.

Another big plus, in winter here in the NW on several highways you have to chain up if you were dumb enough to not buy a four wheel drive.
If you know the actual laws, You would know, that 4wd with no chains is only legal if you are not over 10K lbs licensed weight, and not pulling a trailer. So if you own a dually pickup that is 4wd. If the WSP has a sign up, all vehicles over 10K must use chains, techniquely, you need chains on the rear axel! Altho many wsp officers will let you by......if in a wreck, they may lighten you wallet for not having chains on your over 10K rig.
If the gvw of the truck and trailer are over 10K, or you are pulling a trailer of ANY size, you need chains on the rear of the tow rig, and a drag chain on the trailer, assuming it has brakes.
Not saying a 4wd towing an RV trailer with chains on the rear, drag on the trailer is easy, but legally, that is what one has to do! Been there done that in multiple states here in the western region. As that is how the laws state it!
