2WD or 4X4 for a truck camper

I probably can’t come up with an explanation you would understand...

Sure you could..The problem here is where we live and what we use our truck campers for..I am sure where you live by Seattle 4WD is needed at times..My daughter moved to Everett Washington from McCall Idaho and laughed at how people drove over there when they got those rare snow storms..Actually,it scared her the way they drove with little experience in the snow..

I know your not that way by your post and occupations...People with 4X4's will defend the 'til death,I used to be that way in my younger years..Also,I could name a few times 4X4 with a TC could be better than 2WD..But and a big butttt,years and years of driving in the snow with a truck camper has shown me that I rarely needed 4X4 unless I went looking for trouble taking it where I should not have..Didn't care back then..Break an axle.. fix it/dent up the camper..fix it..Those days are over..

I know where I can take my 2WD with my TC now and why I have to much truck for my currant TC..I do alot of off camber(if you will) traveling on backcountry roads..My TC is 10ft at the ladder rack and 93" wide taking me where larger wider truck campers cannot go and my 2WD DRW get's me places my old F-250 2WD would not get...

The whole point is,it works for me and I did not have to spend way way more for the same used DRW in 4WD..People with 4X4's,and I still am(Just not for a TC),sometimes think there used 4X4 are made of gold.I have a Dodge Dakota 4X4 with awesome tires that goes where know has ever gone..(laffin) and a Nissan 4X4 that is my beater truck and wood getter..I cruise the hills in that not worrying about dents and dingsand go where I want and get stuck where I want.:):)

I enjoy 4X4ing alot and I spend alot of time in the mountains and have my entire life and once you put a big heavy truck camper on your 4X4,you are very limited to where you can go and the only advantage is 4 low and an occasional trip on snowy roads that studs could do almost as well and chains even better...

I guess this thread has run it's course because it is only a couple that would never agree with the others that a new person to truck camping does not need to have 4X4 to haul there TC..

I do not have a scanner but I will try and find some of my old pictures of my 4X4's carrying a TC in the mountains and take a picture with my trudty Pixel 2XL with the Pixel 4 camera(laughing)
