Fixed. A gay guy would need a man bun for those.

Same around here. Most people who buy a RWD truck regret it once winter hits and regret it even more when they try to sell it when they decide to upgrade to 4X4.

At the same time they'd probably sell a decent number of RWD TRXs if they they had that as an option.

2wd reg cab street trucks are still a thing here. Nice ones sell quickly and for surprising amounts of money.

I have no use for a moar door pickup. If I was loaded I'd take the TRX engine and put it in an older reg cab shortbed and make a pre-runner style truck for the street.

The dealer near me has 0 cars. All they have is Jeeps and Trucks.

The TRX is a pre runner for the street

Dodge only made RWD "muscle trucks" because they had no cars. The SRT10 was cancelled once the 300 and charger showed up, which is what someone is going to buy when looking for RWD performance

Sticker was $69,995 with options it was $89,465... And I have a perfect example of 2wd vs 4wd. My buddy Tracey and I bought identical trucks in 1995, both V10 club cab long box, except his was 4wd and mine 2wd. I went over to his house about a month after we got them to pick-up some parts and drove into his back yard to get them. My truck got buried up to the axle and he had to pull me out...

Sez the from the UPPER PENINSULA of Meeeeechigan !

He needs THIS to get to his mailbox....

Same/same with that xFlorida guy who now is on some desolate mountain in West Virginny ‘

LOL

How did you Girls survive before the late '90's early 2000's when 4wd's became "mainstream"?

How do School Bus Drivers, Truck Drivers, Soccer Moms and 16 year olds driving beaters survive in your "region"? They'd definitely out-drive you 4x4 Sissy's.

Give me a faqqing break. 4 wheel drives are for Posers.

Me thimks that the GrizZzZzZz wants to get and some MO !

Even the a lot of the ladies around here drove 4wd vehicles. I’ve always had at least one for the last 40 years. Jeep Rubicon now. I can gain 4000 feet of elevation in 9 miles of driving from my driveway, and be looking at Mount Rainier 30 miles in the distance.

LOL...try that with 2WD in March!!! Where you lives matters Grizzly.

Grizz needs a shot of testosterone and a few miles in low range with the diffs locked!

When I lived back East, I went a LOT of places with my beater '72 Coronet Wagon that it shouldn't have. Don't be stupid, I didn't 'rock crawl' with it, but forest service roads were my favorite and I almost got in a fight with someone once because of it. I guess this guy was showing off his 4X4 Bronco to his girl, and had parked in a clearing that they obviously wouldn't have gotten to if they hadn't had four wheel drive .............and I came bombing in, in my wagon, ripped a few doughnuts, then left.

A few moments later he came ripping up behind me, flashing his lights, honking his horn, screaming at me. In his rage, he over corrected at one of the nasty spots, and got stuck. No I didn't stop to offer them a ride. This was long before cell phones and we were at least 4 miles from pavement.

For me I think it was more a matter of I paid $50 for the car and didn't give a rats patooie about it. If I had gotten stuck, I would have pulled the plates and walked away. I never did though.

RWD vs 4 WD depends on the month of the year.

We used to live on a narrow gravel road out in the sticks. We were lucky to see a snow plow down our road within 3 days of a snow storm or after a day when the snow was drifting. A 4x4 was pretty much mandatory if you wanted to go anyplace before the snow plow showed up. My kids rode a school bus, it pretty well followed the snow plow down our road after a snow storm. If the roads were clear, and they were not calling for snow or drifting snow, the 4x4 stayed in the driveway. We had a beat up Ramcharger as a 4x4. Once winter was over, the 4x4 was pretty well parked until the next winter. All that said, 20 years ago we moved into town, and the need for a 4x4 was pretty well gone, but up until 3 years ago, I still had a 4x4 truck here.

We are retired now, we really don't have a need for a 4x4, if the weather is that bad, we stay home. The crazy thing is, I'm building a new to me hot rod pickup, and its a 4x4! I don't need it, and I have no intention of going off road, but the project just sort of fell into my lap so I had to go for it. Gene

Why is that?
I'm married, have no kids and the 6'4" bed is adequate for my work in construction. This one outhandles a stock height 2wd and any 4wd truck. 356,000 miles and still running.
The 4 door trucks look like a minivan with a cargo box to me.

Yes! Something to agree with grizzly on!

If some of you went out and did a real mans days work, lived in a real mans world in a real mans country it may involve a real functional 4wd truck.

I use both of mine daily..... So I say its the sissies driving the 2wd trucks. What good is a 2 wd truck in the real working world? All a 2wd truck is is a car with a big trunk.


Last time I seen a sissy 2wd truck try to actually work around here it had a tire with part of the axle still attached to it waiting on a tractor to get it out of the field.

Yes, Potato, this 2wd Fanatic owns 6, 4 wheel drives. I work all of them and make my living with them. I'm more than qualified to say that TRX is nothing more than a Doosh Wagon, and an SRT 10 Ram is a Man's truck. Notice the real man country, and real man work? There was a 31 degree hill climb a quarter mile long for Blackie in the bottom photo to get out of that work site every day last winter. My Co-Worker with the white Blunder Motors had to get pulled up with the tractor. After climbing that hill without the tow tractor, everybody knew my truck after a few weeks.

Yes you do!

I got to beat a friends SRT10 truck for a day and just wasnt that impressed with it but not sure what I was expecting in the first place though.

I did sorta like the SS454 trucks and the gmc-syclone of the 90-s.

The SRT10 is more truck then this kid could deal with...... Reminds me of an average stang owner as the seem to crash them easily.

Dude says.... "What Just Happened"

Most 4wd trucks are really 2 wheel drive, driving only one wheel in the front and one in the rear. And even then, the one with the least traction will spin. And at 6,000 lbs, they are hard to get going and stop in the slick. Now obviously they can be set up with rear sure-grip and traction tires, but most don't have either and as such aren't much better than a 2wd with sure-grip and traction tires.

My uncle's old V-6 2wd Dakota had sure-grip, good traction tires, and sand bags in the bed. He could push snow with the front bumper with that thing. Went as good in the slop as almost any 4wd. My dad had a 4wd shivvy for years. One winter we had an ice storm that dumped a full inch of ice on us. His truck was dangerous to try to get out of the driveway. If you actually got it moving, you couldn't stop it. The neighbor had a little AWD Saturn View. It got around very good.

In my experience, 4wd trucks can be set up to work much better than their 2wd counterparts and are an absolute must in some applications. But most are in reality no more capable than a well set up 2wd.

And by the way, I have an '18 4wd Ram with factory 20s that only pulls one front and one rear wheel. I certainly wouldn't trust it to get me out of the slop. But I didn't choose the combo.

Flame away all you 4wd warriors.
