Not often 4wd drive tho. IIRC a general consensus went you didn’t need it that often and if you did a winch could get you out.

I would guess since then 4wd has become less intrusive and more user-friendly, and on the base 2020 Tacoma the 4wd option only adds about $1,700 to the list price of the truck work almost the same fuel economy (4wd has a significantly better resale value too).

Still, around here, most pickups are still 2wd, and most are Ford F 150s.

Thoughts?

I'll never own a non 4wd vehicle but its just because of what we do with them. I can see uses for 2wd. I just have none.
