    i'm not bashing anyone for having a 4x2 but i just never saw a need for a 2wd truck...even if you don't off road...you just never know when you may need it...like if it snows or you are somewhere that's muddy or whatever doing various things that you do with a truck...i dunno i agree it's hardly ever really needed but it really doesn't hurt your mpg that much by having it...so i'd rather have it just in case

    The more 4's the better, jk. A tacoma is a tacoma, the only reason I have 4 is because I'm not that great offroad and am likely to get stuck.

    that. i got the 4x4 just in case i ever wanted it.

    i do live in a snowy part of the world, but i'm mostly doing city driving where the plows are out 10 minutes before the first flake falls.

    i figure if i ever need to haul something / get stuck / whatever, having that little dial on the dash will be mighty convenient.

    Don't really have a 'need' for 4x4. With that said, what's the point in buying a truck if it's not?

    4x4 OFF-ROAD... that is all I need...
    A lot of small business owners have 2wd trucks for utility. I see a lot of pool service and pest control people with 2wd trucks and used 100 of the bed everyday. A lot of trucks are street only. My Coma is a 4x4 but only use it for snow. I could have bought the pre-runner, but Hamer Toyota hooked me up. I got my Coma for the price of a Pre-runner.
