I will double my offer and make it 4 cents worth. a couple comments about no snow, no grass, sand etc. in a particular state. I am sure we all travel form one state to another and weather and driving conditions change and sometimes real quick. Again, it is up to you what to buy, your money, but I think you will be happy with spending a few more $$$. my opinion. Also I might add, as long as your vehicle is moving your not stuck! Good Luck & Be Safe ! ! !
This thread is back! Two things on reflection, first a couple of years ago We were in Iowa, and were camping in town, City owned RV park next to a river. No paved sites, it seems somewhere up river heavy rain, river started rising and was told to leave. What was dry solid ground became soup, I managed to move about 50 feet and got stuck! Had to get a friend with 4x4 to tow me out of the mess, next day the camp site was about a foot under water,
Second, to the discussion about repairs. Some years ago in South FLA, I owned a Bronco with 4x4 capability. Went to an event in Lauderdale, and was told to park in a feild, no problem I had four wheel drive, well front right hub was spun and it took me and a buddy almost three hours to get out of the field. It was about $50 in parts and abouta. Four hours to rebuild the hub! So yes Virginia you can have problems with 4x4's!
