4WD vs 2WD prerunner

Hey guys

This might be in the wrong thread but I wasn't sure where to go with it...
I'm looking to buy a Tacoma and I am stuck on, should I get a 2WD prerunner or should I go with the 4x4. I want to put long travel on it but also be able to go places where I wouldn't think 2WD could go. Is that possible to have the best of both worlds or are they built so differently that I would need to choose to between a long travel prerunner or a 4x4 wheelin machine?

 

Just get the 4wd if you think there is a chance you might need it. Try the search function as there are tons of threads on this very same question.

 

If you were me, you would buy a 4x4... but you are not me, you are you, so you will have to figure out what you expect from the truck.

 

I gotta prerunner OR ply the locker is nice as far as mud goes it and a good set of tires will get u nearly as far as a 4x4 with open diff imo. Rock climbing and sand may be a different story because of wheel base comin into play but I got neither of those in north Alabama. So its enough for me

 

If you close to mountains than get 4x4. So many people on this site regret getting 4wd

 

They shoudn't when it comes time to re-sell it.

 

get 4x4. also i don’t know much about LT, but i think there is a 4x4 kit.

 

i think he meant so many regret not getting it. a lot get 2wd and end up selling or trading after a while and getting 4x4.

 

If your going long travel, go 2wd its going to be cheaper in the long run.

 

Guess that shows how much I know, didn't realize the price difference wasn't that much.

 

4x4, just do it

 

Get the 4x4 and don't look back.

 

get the 4x4...LT is overrated...

I'm just jelly...

 

4x4.

 

I SOOOO WISHED I HAD 4WD GRRRRR, but i still love my taco

 

I got a 4X4, but I made sure it does not have a hood scoop. The scoop bugs the hell out of me and doesn't function anyway. Tomorrow morning I'm putting my Avid Light Bar on.

 

Right on guys, I appreciate the feedback. Looks like I'm gonna keep thinking but 4x4 will definitely be number one unless I can be persuaded into a 2wd prerunner anytime soon. But I doubt that'll happen

 

nope. stick with the 4x4
