I'd never buy a 2 wheel drive living in NJ even if I never used the truck in winter.

I bought a new GMC in '96 and got stuck in the mud at Maple Grove as soon as I puled in the grass field. A 454 4x4
I had to unload the race car just to get out and covered my new truck and trailer with mud in the process.

Replaced that truck with a Duramax and it's a 4 wheel drive and my daily driver...

One trip coming home from Cecil with the Duramax I was losing a rear U-Joint....barely made it home.....

With a 4x4 I could have pulled the rear driveshaft and made it home in 4 wheel drive.......Not likely that would ever happen but in my case it almost did.....

I was looking at trucks a few months ago....2500 HD 4x4 6.? gas ext cab long bed......$50G's and up

My good friend bought one and a co worker also bought one .....Chevy....
