think mike and petey experienced waitlessness (sic) driving down the beach. mike might even have hit his head on the ceiling. Yepper, that was a great trip. IIRC it was you pulling the flatbed trailer too. Live New England lobster and scallops (whelks?) served up that evening, way the heck down Padre.

true, won't take my diesel down the beach.
Make sure to load up 100 gallons of red dye, BGG and a cooler full of warm High Life beforehand. ![[Linked Image from i37.photobucket.com]](https://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e78/montanasam/Fall2013017.jpg)

Unless I was strictly hauling trailers on the highway, I wouldn’t own a 2wd truck.
Maybe a hot rod truck. A classic ‘70 or so Chevy short box would be sweet with a nicely built ls motor!

When I was a teenager my friend had a pickup with straight six cylinder and three on the tree.
He used to pride himself on being able to go anyyplace.
I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger!
There is only one kind of dead, but there are many different kinds of wounded.

Yeah most trucks in Texas are 2wd. Now the concrete cowboys will have an f-250 or F-350 jacket up, out fitted with light bars and yeti stickers. That once or twice trip to the lease or ranch requires it.
By being lifted, it’s easier to fill the corn feeders. lol I lift them because fat chicks can't jump! Never seen one of them, feeders!

4WD gets mouth-breather idiots in situations where it's difficult to steer and stop, but what do they care- - - - -they're moving! Tow truck drivers love guys with all-wheel drive- - - -they laugh all the way to the bank!

We all say silly szchit on occasion but you've been on a streak that even Cal Ripken could appreciate.

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. John

That’s got to be one of the dumbest things I’ve ever read! So you know the difference between 4 wheel drive and all wheel drive?And yes a lot of idiots get themselves in a pickle because they think 4 wheel drive can actually take them anywhere in any conditions.
Its all right to be white!!
