    The title says it all. I couldn't find a thread on this and I was curious. Here in Vermont, a 2wd pickup is an oddity. Mostly because we generally get enough snow to make it a little too exciting for 2wd though I did drive a 2wd pickup as a teenager with concrete blocks in the back.

    4wd since it makes no sense to drive a 2wd when going through the mountains

    Most people here are 4x4. You don't need a poll to tell us that.

    You could argue that your prerunner is just as capable in the snow as the more/less manly 4wd.

    It might not be as capable in mud/snow but it's capable enough for my needs, I have nothing against 4wd & most likely will own one someday. I damn sure don't need it to be a man.

    could also argue that a DCSB is more manly than a DCLB. takes a man to know how to load a lard amount or large objects into a smaller truck.

    I don't load lard objects. Too messy.

    It's not manly to be stuck in the woods when 4wd could get you home...

    Don't "need" 4wd often, but when you do, it's worth every red cent!

    I got a 4wd, I didn't need it. But it's funny, when you want something it quickly turns in to a need.

    I bought the 4X4 but have yet to use it! I suppose I'm looking for the opportunity to be a man! Oh I hope I can be a real man one day!
