Default 4x4

I purchased mine 6 weeks ago and love the truck. I just wish I got a 4x4 but it istoo late now. Idon't hunt, I don't do extreme offroadingand I may never need to use it. Do you 2wd guys feel the same way?

4WD has always gotten me INTO more trouble than it has EVER gotten me OUT of.

I bought a 2wd originally and hated it, just because of the way it looked. I had $5k to either trick it out or get the 4x4, I opted for the 4x4. I do miss the mileage of the 2wd though, on the way to trade it in I got 23mpg doing 70-75 for 400 miles.

for a truck this size. . .4x4 is pretty much a necessity.

yeah when i was at the dealer they had an 1 year old cummins dualy, 28,000 miles, warn winch, they were gonna put new tires on for me as well... virtually same price as the 1500 i wound up buying, main reason why i didnt buy it, other than it was white (i still voted for you dirtydodge) it was 2wd.... i tow, well towed a 20ft pontoon, but other than that didnt need the torque, but go down 60 miles (one way) of deep/soft sand about once a month, so 4wd is a must...

With that heavy engine we have up front, I been stuck turning around and getting the rears on the grass and the front on gravel, I would have had to been pulled out without the 4x4

I get to pull big plants and small trees with the 4x4 while remodeling,saves me a lot of time hacking them down.

If I didn't need 4x4 for work I do, I'd love a 3500 2wd with trainning wheels in black! Big 22" chrome wheels, pac brake and straight through exhaust!
