I have used my 4x4 a couple of times.
I have also loved it when I needed it. Coming home from the Oregon Coast 1st week of January 2011.
The other plus is if you don't lock the front hubs, you can put the transfer case in low range for backing into a space. I find this very nice as one host site we use, is backing uphill to the blind side.
Well now I have covered the 4X4, thoughts, I would not own a Ford/IH 6.x diesel. They just all had too many issues.
Except there's not a single 4wd HD pickup with true manual hubs anymore, unless you get a free spin kit. Even the super duty hubs are kind of for show. There's auto lockers behind the manual hubs. The manual hubs are just bling until the auto locking hubs malfunction. Although idk if there's a way to disable th auto and run with just manual hubs. That would be great for a factory 2lo setup!
The manual/auto hubs on the Super Duty is so much better than the dodge setup and the manual lock is real locking hubs. And the front drive axles aren't always spinning like the dodge when driving in 2wd. As a matter of fact when our dodge 4x4 stop engaging that was the straw that broke the camels back that we decided we had enough of that truck and sold it as is.
