In the state that I live in the "big thousands dollars" that will cost you is when you try and sell a 2wd pickup. You wont get squat for it.
I sure do not understand that..Marysville Utah gets about 1/2 the national average of snow a year that others do..We get double that and my old 2WD ford F-250 sold for what I payed for it on the first looker..Ours is a community of Loggers and Ranchers that use there pickups hard.
McCall Idaho where I spent over 40 years living and working out of,gets 5-6X the snowfall you get there and 1/2 the town drives 2WD's..A good pickup in 2WD or 4WD sells easily if the price is reasonable..
I guess that is one of the big differences in Utah and Idaho..Just one.LOL
