Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire I’ve encountered 2 folks this week

That bought a truck and drove it home and 6 weeks later figured out they bought 2wd versions🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️Are people this fugkin stupid or what?

Yes. They are.

Yes.

YES!!

Yup they are. And...it's someone else's fault lol

2wd ??

not many of those on my turf

But it's a truck, it's not 4 wheel drive? Of course some people are that stupid

Majority of the so-called trucks today are nothing more than cars with large open-air trunks.

And more capable as ever.

Have you seen what about half the country supports?

They drink bud light.

Thank our wonderful public education system.

I've never done it, but having truck shopped for couple years, I could understand how a mistake like this could happen.

In my day, 4x4's sat higher, many times had larger tires, distinctive hubs that protruded from the front wheels, & had a distinctive, magic 4x4 engagement lever in the floor.

Now? name a distinctive feature that points to any of the older signs. It's all gone. Looking for a small 2H, 4H, 4L knob on the dash is about all ya got.

One could take a gander at the front axle or whatever they call it these days.

Book it. These folks have absolutely no use for a 4wd truck.

Salesman screwed them, but that's because the buyers let them.

Know a guy that did that with a new 4Runner.
Never seen a 2wd around here, didn’t even know they were offered as such. Moved to Florida and found “a hell of a deal” and brought it home. Went to lock it in at a boat ramp and found out why it was cheap🤣

Never, ever underestimate the stupidity of the American public.

4 wheel drive trucks with open differentials are actually 2 wheel drive.

Most never know the difference. It's not 4 wheel drive unless you have front and rear locking differentials.

2wd = Grocery Getter.

Statistically, 80% of 4-Wheelers never get off pavement.

Toyota is notorious for disguising their 2wd as 4wd to your eyeball.
