    2021 will look just like a 2020, but maybe will have an extra cup holder or USB port...

    Yup. Owners manual says once a month for at least 10 miles or something like that. Wish I had a more fun reason to engage it. :pout:

    I only put mine in once to make sure it is working on the new truck
    Here where I live you need a 4 wheel drive truck. It snows in feet here and as a family we keep one vechile that has 4 wheel drive.

    I mostly bought my OR for resale value & I had a 2nd Gen Pre-Runner with rear diff lock & was stuck 3x in one year (not mudriding) and told myself no 2wd ever again.
    All that BS said, if you have a SxS, then you stop your truck before it gets heavy & use that.
    Your truck looks real nice, I would keep it until you get stuck next, then trade it if you want after you get out..

    You don't need to be talked out of it, you know what you want. Do it. Just let it happen.

    I'd wait until August and do 2020 though.

    You're best bet is to take those off and sell them separately, you wont get an extra penny for em

    Bro, you can't have a truck and not have 4WD. Take that Inferno junk and trade up to a TRD Pro like yesterday

    Your truck is more than capable man. You will lose money on the deal and be disappointed in a year when you realized you did not use 4x4 once.

    Wait a week see if you still feel the same way. If you do go for it. In my experience, I've usually forgotten all about it and have gone on to other things. Good luck. A week isn't a long time really for a big purchase.

    I need 4x4 every hunting season because of all the old CC roads turn to mud after a good rain. In VA we run dogs so its a lot of mobile tracking in the truck.
    Do what your heart desires but its better to have 4x4 and not need it, than need it and not have it.

    Its better to have a steady conscious and know you wont be stranded if you have terrain issues.

    Your inferno looks great, I would keep it. It's the cheaper option, and I'm not sure if 4WD is needed in the south.
