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?

I wish I'd held out for two wheel drive. I've never used the four wheel
drive and don't plan to. It costs more,weighs more, uses more gas, is
another thing to fix, and reduces the towing capacity of the 4Runner.

When we bought Highlander for my wife we ordered the two wheel. They had to
hunt around, but they finally found it.
