I won't take the time to reread all the posts, but I don't recall anyone saying that. I do think 4x4, super duty, maxi, ram, duramax, boost,and other macho words are used to sell pickups to folks who never get off the dry pavement. My girlfriend likes the lower entrance of a 2wd compared to a 4wd. That is enough for me. Good driving skills takes care of the rest.
It was more "inferred" than stated. But, I agree with you that good driving takes care of most of it; and also that most of the time, most people never use 4wd. But, there are those of us who can't go the places we want to go without it.
Man, work this week is really slow. I think I'm just being arbitrary for the sake of being arbitrary. One more hour and it's time for cold beer and good cigars.
