    I had my truck for 4 hours with 76 miles on it, went from the dealership straight out to Proctor.. nearly broke my front wheel off with no mods. I'll have to hit you up when I'm in SD again.

    IMO man, the trucks a big investment, might as well not limit what it can do because you never know where you could end up. 20k+ is a lot of money to spend and wish you had 4WD 6 months down the road.

    Stick on hood scoop from Autozone.

    I wouldn't put my truck in that situation though, with or without 4x4.



    I agree it would be very nice to have, but I simply don't need it for my needs.

    Wow...So back on track-

    OP- Stuff like this is such a personal choice: your budget, your needs, your wants, potential for you to mod the truck- all have to weigh into what package you buy.

    I love my 4x4 and haven't driven a truck that was 4x2 ever....but I'm sure it can be done in lots of place. I offroad regularly and will drive out to campsites and remote lakes and stuff pretty often...so it's good for me.
