4x4 or 4x2?

Looking at '05-'09 trucks with 100k or less miles in white or silver. Was looking for just 2wd but finding that many of the trucks that fit the criteria for what I am looking for are 4x4.

I really don't need and in some ways don't want a 4x4 but wondering if I should reconsider.

I did not want a 4x4 for the following reasons. If some are mis-nomers, feel free to correct.

-More expensive
-More gas consumption
-More stuff to maintain and more complex to work on

Thanks, what do you think?

The exact reasons I opted for a 4x2. From your profile it looks like you are in Florida, so winter weather isn't an issue and 4x4 is totally unnecessary unless you go off-roading or mudding.
