I'm beginning to wonder why they make 4 wheel drive pickups.
Chevy didn't offer a 4X4 truck until 1960...So how did everyone get by previously, without them?..
It was nothing to be 'snowed in' for several days when I was a kid in the 60s. Hell it'd only been 50 years since there were any roads. Everything shuts down for a few days.. meh, no biggy. Society has changed business wants zero down time and the consumer expects what they want when they want it today. Everyone wanting to have a 4x4 so they can go pretty much anywhere anytime is only a small symptom. And, theres a lot of guys that do need to go anywhere anytime to make their living. And you don't need to ride in a back breaking gear jammer like in the 60s, you can't tell the difference in the ride between a 2x or a 4x today.
