As I mentioned earlier,I am not anti 4WD..I have two in the driveway,a Yamaha Rhino in the garage and a Chevy HD 2500 that is here most of the time..None of them are camper toters for how I use a TC..

I also have never had any 4X4 drivetrain expenses including the two older ones in my yard.
I put my 8'6" Lance on this and drove around the block and took it right off..It was a fun truck though but not a TC toter for sure..LOL
