    Hell i hope not, you live in myrtle beach. The biggest hill you have to climb is the bridge on the intercoastal waterway. You are the target audience that inspired the "prerunner".

    dude this thread is not whether or not YOU should get a 4x4 its whether or not the OP who lives in Tahoe (a high snow mountainous area) should get a 4x4 vs a 4x2 w/ locker.

    He should

    You shouldn't

    I got a 4x4 because I like to have the added safety and I like to go offroad but I do not live in a snowy or mountainous area...

    Right. There is no benefit to a 4x4 here at all. can't think one one reason to need 4 drive wheels here....Even the boat ramps are fine without 4WD.
