The run near Lake Tahoe?? I don't think it would get 100 yards there.

OP if you live in San Antonio it’s not surprising to see more 2wd than 4wd, it’s a large city. In my locale, and I think in most of rural Texas, it’s more like 1:1 ratio.
I agree that there’s very little reason not to buy 4wd anymore

Times change. Dad was the first in our rural NW Missouri neighborhood to own a pickup, in 1950. 2wd GMC 1/2 ton. He was the most popular guy around, frequently asked to haul something for the neighbors. 1st 4wd pickup I ever saw was a '64 Ford F-250.
Dad never owned a 4wd. But in the mid 70's he bought a second pickup, and one could stay chained up if needed to feed and check cows with. A heated cab was a luxury-before that it was open station tractor to haul small hay bales.

This is near the start of the trail. I had a boss years ago who owned the body shop I managed. He and his SIL were crazy Jeepers and did the Rubicon every year. After the run we had both their rigs in the shop for a lot of straightening everything.

I would not own a truck that was not 4x4. It is probably essential in Florida huh? I had a 4wd Suburban and it was awesome, could do some interesting things with it size considering. My current ride is 2wd and have taken it some places I probably shouldn't. I'm in the market for a new truck and my wife is really pushing for 4wd.

Iowa, it does snow here but I have a 2 wheel drive F150. I see no reason for a 4 wheel drive. I load the back up with chunked up wood and a maybe a couple of sand bags and I'm good to go. If the snow is so deep I can't get through with what I have, I don't leave the house until I can.

Hell, half the people on this site now days have never even seen a pickup that wasn't driven by a government employee.
The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.

This is not 4WD..(laughing) but it is kool.. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/Gjb82Zl.png) Let me see, Without the power divider locked, it could be 2 or 4, Locked, at least 4, if the conditions are similar side to side, 8. Properly speced as a vocational truck, with a divider lock, And axel lock, its a solid 8.
