Question for me now is whether or not to get 4wd on my new(er) truck.
My old Nissan is 4wd and my old Dodge is not. I have never needed 4wd
here in FL and when I lived in AL I used it only a few times, a couple
times when it snowed and several times for caving. When we go to WY,
we may use it both winter and summer although that is a very small
fraction of our time. We also could do without it in WY even in
winter by being careful. My experience with 4wd is that it makes
repairs a lot more expensive. Thoughts?
The 4 wheel drive and low range comes in handy with heavy boat/trailers
on slick and or steep ramps.
I've had to pull several 2 wheel drive p/us and their boats up ramps. I
ve watched 2 wheel drives spin and slip backwards at the same time.
I no longer have the boat or truck. We will, economy allowing, buy a
boat next year. I will have to give serious consideration to replacing
my current 2 wheel drive with another 4 wheel drive.
