4x4 is fun, but totally not needed for 90% of truck buyers. Towing a boat is useful on slick steep ramps, 4x4 is useful off road while hunting or property management, or for common usage. Most trucks sold new are too pretty and expensive for owners to take off road.
I try not to be too dogmatic, if you need it, buy it. If you don’t then get the 2WD savings... or the 4x4 just because.

Well for some of us it's almost a must. Sure, you can do without it, just like you could do without an extended warranty or collision insurance...until you need it. I live in NY and wouldn't even consider being without it. And yeah, my truck is pretty and expensive, but I do tow a camper and grass gets wet and steep gravel roads challenge gravity, rain makes mud no matter where you live, and the resale value is way better. Some like to save money (while still buying a $65,000 truck...) but other like myself like to be prepared. I'd have four wheel drive if I never saw snow again. And you're right, my truck doesn't see off road...it's allergic to dirt :B:)
