Confused about 4x4

Confused about 4x4
I hve an 03 Dakota crew cab 4 door. So I got it at a dealership and they said it wasn't 4x4 but the place where they brought it from initially had it as a 4x4. So anyways I was looking under the millage and seen it said service 4x4. So now I'm curious as to is it or isnt it 4x4. Do all of them say service 4x4 regardless? Thanks in advance.

I think, if it's not a 4x4,, the recording of a "4x4 service" may be out of slackness or in the worst case scenario dealerships trying to exaggerate the service fees.
In any case. Look for the 4WD selector to the left of the AC controls. if it is a empty change slot its 2wd then you will know for sure.

OR take a quick look under the front of the truck and look for a drive shaft with a CW boot on it going to the front wheel hub. if it is there , it is or was 4wd. if there is no drive shaft but in place of it a coil suspension spring than it is 2wd.

Post the VIN here and I can look up your build sheet, which will tell you all about the truck. Or you can look it up yourself....
