2x4 vs. 4x4 ?

Not much to add to the great wisdom already said. However I have to disagree on duals working great in the snow. I live on the side of a ski mountain and I can say for a fact that dually's don't compare with this size truck to a SRW. Our plow truck with a fully loaded sander on it was very easy to get stuck. F600's are a different story. I have owned 4x2's up here in the North and yes you can get by, but having the 4x4 is an option that if needed even a few times a years is well worth it.

My 2 cents. I have a 350 PSD, CC 4X4 and tow a 31 foot travel trailer. I have gone to a couple of campgrounds in PA where you camp on a grass site. There have been times where the grass has been wet enough that without 4X4 I would not have been able to back the trailer in.

Exclamation 2x4 vs. 4x4 ?

I think that maybe I said somthing that was misunderstoond and I would like to clear the air: I don't think that I said that 4x4 were out of the question. I ment that in my situation a 4x4 is not being used and the additional cost would be usless. I have lived in the snow and ice and do know the value of 4x4. I just choose not to make the additional expenditure. thats all.
Second: I have seen a lot of examples of diffrent situations and its good to see it. we all have our own opinion. thats what keeps the site going good. I love to see all of it. Lets not get wraped around the axel over the choices that each of us make. I think I said it right. If not I'm sure that somebody will correct me Thanks guys.
God Bless our Troops:
