    I would definately prefer a 4X4, but I dont do much off roading or hauling. Besides The 4X2 taco is just as awesome.

    I have a 4x4 but to be honest I think that I could get by without 4 wheel drive, we dont get that much snow here and when we do my truck does just fine in 2 wheel. It is nice to have the 4x4 at the boat ramp even though once again I dont need to use it but having it just incase is nice.

    4WD here. In the mountains in N. GA, don't have a lot of snow or anything, but for hunting and when we actually do get snow, I wouldn't get by without 4WD. I've never seen the point in havin a truck without 4WD (no offense to anyone that's not 4wd).

    4x4 OFF-ROAD... that is all I need...
    4x4 b/c I didn't want to regret not getting the 4x4 in the future... 9 months since I've bought my Coma and no regrets w/ the 4WD. 4Hi is great for snow. Haven't used 4Lo w/ the locker yet, but will one day. And on that day, I will be glad I spent the extra $1000 for my 09 Coma TRD Off-Road 4x4!

    I have a Prerunner and it really surprised me how well it did offroad. However I do wish I had 4wd just for peace of mind although I've never needed it yet *knocks on wood*
