4x4 no matter what you buy. If you want 2wd, a 2nd gen lug is for you

It is that kind of ego that causes prices to rise and why our society's thought process is going down the drain. So many people buy it that don't need it. Remember when 4x4 was less than a 2k option, now everyone gets it to matter what and the prices have sky rocketed. If you don't need 4wd, why buy it? Stop trying to stroke your own ego or impress others you don't know. You may very well need, or say you do and really don't (lots of those people) but when people are considering a 2wd they probably have no need for a 4wd. So why coax someone in to a more expensive truck or a lesser optioned truck just to stay in their budget? Never understood that. If you live where it doesn't snow (let's be honest in a northern big city that is regularly plowed it isn't a necessary some of the times as well) and you aren't off roading they why spend the extra 4k or so on top of all the other added costs (insurance, maintenance, mpg, ect)?

OP, are you going to use or need a 4wd? That's the first question. How important are features to you? How tight is your budget? You will give up features trying to move up to a TRD OR 4x4 everyone is busting nuts over and only you know if that is in your budget.

People think the TRD OR 2wd is useless, well it far from it. You get more truck and features, save fuel, get the look and a rear locker to help in a sticky situation. Not to mention it comes with the same look, tires, ect.

Just be honest with what you need and your financial situation OP. Don't go over budget to stroke an ego like some people on here (pretty much every where actually) and get what is important. Get more amenities for the 3-4k and go for 2wd if you don't need it. Or if you need 4wd and like amenities load up a SR5 4x4 instead of going base TRD.

Good luck and keep us in the loop.

I'm allowed to stroke my ego, seeing as I make the payments. And 4wd, that shits over rated

Prices aren't any better in Cen Cal. Went today to the dealer, 38k for silver TRD OR DC SB with jbl and pt. No discounts.

I wonder if these prices ate otd. I paid 1000 off msrp Christmas rebate and was at 34500. Then wa state tax of 3300. The tax hurt because I bought in Oregon which has no tax. More to the point getting the truck in that list is not so simple. Is this the truck for the next 10 years and will your needs stay the same. I got a 4x4 off road because that's what I wanted. I did not offroad before but now I will because I can.
