2wd or 4x4?
Wife and I are in the process of buying a 26-30' fifth wheel and truck to pull it for fulltime use. We plan on doing a lot of boondocking and hitting BLM spots and are wondering if 2WD is enough or...

Even if you avoid mud and snow... 4x4 can be very handy. I use it quite often for backing trailers up a hill, or on wet grass...4-LOW is a great tool for saving your transmission and giving you better control when maneuvering in a tight spot. There's also been may times when I couldn't back a trailer on a gravel incline without 4x4. I would never buy a 2WD truck if I intend to use it as a truck.
this is terrible advice. 4lo is not intended for anything but low speed STRAIGHT LINE use unless the front tires are in a low traction situation so they can slip to accommodate being out of synchronization do to turning radius.
that said ill never own another 2wd truck even though I don't often need my 4x4.
