When I arrived in Texas about 35 years ago, two things struck me as different. One was most of the people I became friends with down here (Texas Rednecks for the most part) kept handguns in their trucks. The other was most of ‘em HAD trucks.
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 be without a 4wd truck again. When you need it, you generally REALLY need it. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.
