I agree with most of the above - as long as you live where there isn't a lot of snow. We have a 4X4 GMC Jimmy because we use the 4 wheel drive a lot in the winter. It has a button labeled "Automatic 4WD" and that button is on most of the winter. 4WD engages when needed. I have engaged 4WD a few times in getting out of areas that are graveled in order to not spray the TM with gravel. One place in particular, I would not have made it out without 4WD. I tried and had to go into 4WD LOW. I for one would not be without it - been there done that and didn't like the consequences. Another thing, in this area, 2WD pickups and SUVs have no resale value.
