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?

    Depends on many factors. I prefer a 4X4 as we winter camp and never know what the road conditions will be like. That said I also carry tire chains for both TV and trailer.
    Many see 4X4 as a loss of payload, it is but the loss is t that great
  • I have never needed the 4x4 for towing on 4 vehicle's but loved the 94 chev 4x4 for my work truck. 2x4's are a tough sell when that time comes unless you are in Az at the time.
    Probably best to go 4x4.
