4WD is only usefull accelerating from 0-5Mph at a stop or red light. Offroading or with a plow in front, still under 5Mph.

It doesn't brake or steer better that 2WD, Tire make that difference.
Even, 4WD worsen the situation by leaving some torque on tire when friction between tire/surface is limited. Tire track best when ''free wheelling''.

For most(99.9%) usage, 4WD is a worthless option.

4WD is for gay driver that want to be seen as men. smile

If you want to prove that you are not a gay driver, show me how you drive a stick, a 3-tree, super 8, 10-13-15-18 sp,

Let's lower the bar even lower for gay driving skill, can you do a WOT for 20-30sec? With some driver, I wouldn't be afraid to be a passenger, with most other ''TERRIFIED''

WOT for 20-30 seconds?
I'd bet that every slant six owner has done that just getting up to speed on the freeway!

It is obvious what you pleasure. 2wd on uncle Joe's lap on a bumpy road. Phallus lickers like you need to be at gay days in Orlando.

Anything over a 10 speed is because the truck has no torque... tonguue


The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

A 2WD Truck is like buying a car with a branded title. You just killed 75%+ of your buyers which murders resale.

I have been a licensed rebuilder here in Illinois for decades. And for the last 15+ years, all we do are rebuilds. Sold 2 yesterday.

You could not be more wrong. On both counts.

We had one truck we serviced regularly that was a 998 cid Mack V8 with a 15 speed transmission in it. I would bet that truck could top 120 MPH.

But a hell of a lot of the country DOES live in those conditions.

In the 90’s I worked with a guy who had just moved up from the Bay Area to Washington and decided to buy a 4wd for winter, and was Shocked To find out his 2wd Blazer wasn’t selling. He got about 1/2 what he expected. Said in CA he would have sold it easy.

My best friend owns a few new car dealerships in El Paso, TX and I wanted to buy my wife a clean, low mile AWD SUV from him a few years ago. So I asked him to keep an eye out for something................it was quite a while before he found something and I wondered why. He told me that most dealerships below a certain U.S. latitude do not get AWD or 4x4 vehicles shipped or sent to them and have to be ordered if a customer wants one. Around here (Northern Ohio) the local dealers are loaded with AWD, FWD, 4x4 etc., vehicles being above the U.S. latitude of mud, snow and elevation. I can see in places that are below the "4X4/AWD latitude" there is plenty of need for this type of 4X4 drive line and I wouldn't want to own a rear wheel drive pickup working construction, farm or any place that I needed to get to that wasn't paved......even a long sand driveway or beach area. A little rant about pickup trucks no matter what the drive line is that it seems to me about 50% or more of the owners NEVER use the bed of their pickup and only seemed to have bought one because well, because of the image a pickup has or an image the owner needs. Not saying all but it's pretty rare to see a pickup that has mud on the tires and wheels or looks like it is used like a pickup and not a front wheel drive minivan laugh2
