    In newfoundland a truck is mostly useless without 4x4. If I were to venture a guess I would bet that 95% of all trucks on the road here are 4x4.

    They sold first gen pre runners in Canada. Probably the lack of sales is why they stopped selling them.

    In Canada, sure there is a reason to have 4wd, they get ALOT of snow. Saying there is no point for a truck without 4wd in other places that don't have much snow is pretty ridiculous, but what do I know. There are plenty of reasons to have a TRUCK, regardless of whether it has 4wd or not, that's common sense. I have not been stuck ONCE in the snow that I have driven in with a PreRunner. To each his own, if you need that security blanket for a few extra grand then by all means you should have it. With that said, I do plan to get a 4wd one day but not because I feel more manly in it.
