^^This. The first truck I owned was a 2wd because I "live in California and will never use 4x4" and it was the last 2wd truck I had got stuck in my friends yard, on level dry ground. That is when I swore off 2wd for good.
I only run MT tires in a larger than stock size. Other advantages to this is that I have never had a flat. I have pulled out countless nails, screws, even a bottle jack handle from my tires and have never had a flat. The tread is too thick. It is nice when I have to jump curbs to maneuver a trailer in tight places because the sidewalls are protected better. Sure they are louder on the highway, and wear a little faster (my last set of Hankook MTs lasted 55k though). I have never noticed any poor handling after they break in after 50 miles or so. My Chevy has the factory G80 Locker that has saved my butt more times than I can count.
We camp in the desert and on Pismo beach too and my truck is the only one of our group that hasn't been stuck (only one with MT tires too), although I probably just jinxed myself lol!
had those on my last truck.great off road,but boy they throw rocks!

I couldn't get by with a 2wd truck. They're useless on snowy or icy roads, not to mention off-road situations. Luckily where I live you can't really even get a 2wd truck unless you special order it - 4wd is the expected norm.
