4x4 vs 2x4

Well every once in a while mother nature throws you a curve! We had spent a beautiful four days on the Oregon Coast the first week of January. We had a couple days of sunshine and a couple days of rain temps in the mid 40's. Then it came time to head home, temps dropped to very low 30's and then it came!

And it doesn't have to be in January! Memorial Day weekend 2015 we towed our 5th wheel from Bryce Canyon NP to Zion NP via Cedar Breaks NM due to the tunnel restrictions on the road into Zion. Beautiful clear skies and 50 degrees when we left Bryce; 35 degrees and a white-out when we reached the entrance into Cedar Breaks. Several 2WD RVs had pulled into the entrance road and were parked to wait out the storm. We were in 4WD and kept going down the mountain to Cedar City, where it wasn't even raining, then on to Hurricane where we had reservations for the weekend. As others have said, you don't need 4WD until you really need 4WD.
