Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire 2wd Pickups outnumber 4wd pickups about 4:1 down here.

The only thing around here 2wd is the John Deere lawnmower.

We get some snow 'round here and I plow roads and driveways for beer money..Funny thing is,the grocery store parking lot is full of 2WD soccer mom vans getting groceries and the big bad 4X4's are parked at home with hung-over hubby..LOL..Seems Momma could teach Daddy some tricks in getting around in a 2WD..

Minivan with top chopped off?
2wd pickup.

BHWHAHAHA.... Zero turn with No Lockers !!!


City slickers who don’t spend most thier time off road, off gravel - don’t need 4x4’s...

Less people know how to drive in mud than they do snow .

I own 3 pickups, all of them 4WD. Rarely ever have to use 4WD, but it's there if I do, and on a farm, you'll need it sooner or later. It's the same way with carrying a handgun.......it's there if you need it.

Road to the grocery store..



I own 2-4X4's that just sit most of the time..The mini van gets by far the most use and has absolutely no trouble getting around in the snow...My 2WD DRW also has no problem in the snow..The catch is,both have great tires on them with the DRW aggressively siped..

You don't have to have a 4X4 to get around in the snow or mud but I admit,they are fun to get stuck in...

so you are saying 2wd is better than 4wd.....then why do you have 2 4wd?.....bob

I have a Tacoma 4X4 off road with the E-locker... and use it like it’s a quad runner while other full size 4x4’s stay on the gravel.

I have chains, and a 9,000 lb warn winch on a top plate so I can move it to the front to the rear, and keep good AT KO tires on it.
So far I’ve never had to use the winch or chains but the locker has seen it’s due.

Not saying that at all,Bob..I am saying that a 2WD will work just fine in snow/mud and the mountains if 'ya know how to drive it..Around McCall Idaho you learn to drive in the snow or move..People that say 2WD's are worthless in the snow,have no clue how to drive in the snow then.

As to my two 4X4's..Dakota 4X4and Nissan 4X4..They are my close to town wood getters..Put a cable on a log and put it 4X4 and drag that log down the mountain..I use them both for skidders...

This is my Beater..Don't care if I bang this one up but it makes a great log skidder..

Until it rains.





How much snow?

And does the wind blow when it snows there?

'Bout this much Sam...Why does rain stop a 2WD again?



I almost forgot for old RanchO,his favorite photo...Laughing

Sam,watch this video..They are all done in 2WD by people that can do it...Mud does not stop a 2WD either if you know how to drive in mud..

Let me rephrase it for you.


How much snow can you drive through in your mini van without spinning out and getting stuck?



We have dirt here that becomes extremely greasy when wet. It's called gumbo and believe it or not 4WD does way better(than 2WD) when dealing with it.

The mini van doesn't do well in deep snow for obvious reasons,clearance,but my 2WD DRW 1-ton can do it up to the bumper as my other truck pictured did or better said,just as deep as your 4X4 pictured..

Logcutter continues to amaze....

Thank you....LOL

Logcutter, does DRW mean Drive Rear Wheel?

so I watched over half of that video….what did that prove....that you can beat the crap out of a 2wd...where a 4wd would go so much easier..

that video actually proved our point...….you have to be very aggressive in 2wd to try to come close to 4wd......bob

Doubly so.

It means..Dual Rear Wheels
