I really don't understand these diesel and grass problem comments. I recently sold 24 acres of sloping pasture I owned. Drove my two different F350 diesels all over it wet and dry and never used 4x4 unless it was sloppy muddy. Wet grass never a problem.
I live in the country in central Mississippi. I special ordered my 98 Dodge 2500 diesel when I was younger and poorer and specified 2WD because I didn't think I'd ever need it. In the years since I've been stuck in my yard on wet grass so many times that the front air dam off is off of it from the chain I use to hook my tractor to it pull it out. During the winter it'll rain so much around here that it won't dry out for several months, I know that if I need to move one of my trailers I'll just have to pull the truck with the tractor, otherwise the choice is not to use it for months. I've been stuck on wet grass dozens if not hundreds of times, and this is with all terrain tires on the back and a limited slip differential.
Last year I bought a new Tundra, I didn't even think of not getting 4x4. I've cussed 2WD so many times that at 48 years old there's no way I'm going through that any more. Life's too short for that BS. NEVER again will I buy a truck without 4WD.
