Two wheel drive or 4x4?
Looking at purchasing a new tow vehicle and considering the pros and cons of two wheel vs four wheel drive. Which do you have and why did you make that choice?

I have a 2wd and have never needed a 4wd in 8 years of towing. I don't need the added complexity and maintenance so why pay for it. FWIW I buy for my usage, not the next owner. Usually by the time I'm ready to sell a vehicle it's pretty used up. :)
:h always see this "added complexity and maintenance for a four wheel drive.
Be shocked to learn that there is very little of either. This is urban legend stuff, and really not a factor at all in ownership.
