4x4 Ford Dodge Bail-Out!
It just shows that at times 4x4 is a good to have. Especially when you go play in the snow. Payson, AZ at 5000' got over 12" of snow during last week storm. It started with +4" of rain, then two days of snow. My Ram handled the conditions quite well.
Here in Arizona, it isn't just the Snow that can get you...
There are countless backroads which are bare dirt (not even gravelled) - and most of Arizona is sandy or clay soils (where any soil exists). When dry, 2WD is usually sufficient, except all the areas where the sand is deep or the top 4-12in are fine dust. But when it gets wet... (and Arizona Summer is Hot intermixed with the Monsoon daily Thunderstorms) ...very little 2WD moves well in the sudden 1-2in surface of slick or clingy mud.
But if you have a good 4WD truck with good rubber, AZ has more backroads than most any other State...

I did the same thing and i feel your pain, my first truck was an 09 Hemi Ram 4x2. I traded it back in for another 09 Hemi Ram 4x4. The only way i got out of it with a good price was due to the end of year blowout and got 15K off. It's like night and day between the two tucks when in 4x4.
