Taco 2x4 or 4x4

i am from South Louisiana, and have a 4x2 on order, the trails i go on do not need a 4x4, if i need one, i will not be going down them in a truck i owe a note on.....I use my mountain bike or motocross bike to explore. Being around lots of mud, does not matter what truck you have, if you cannot drive you will be stuck. I have a friend with 84 toyota straight axle 22r 4x4 with all terrain tires, would drive around chevys with interco bloggers, because he could drive, knew what lines to take etc.

 

Long term purchase = 4x4, you need it you got it ! Higher initial cost but higher resale value.

 

4x4 is the only way I go

 

Thanks TA2016, good advice

 

Depends what it's for.

Are you more like:

More like the first picture

 

Well that's a pre-runner 4x2

 

I posted this somewhere recently, but I'll say it here too since it's relevant...
I've had two trucks before my current one, both 2WD. There were maybe 4 times in those 8 years that I needed 4WD and only twice did I actually need help. I don't off road, but I do camp and backpack and sometimes I have to get to remote sports.
So based on those factors, I opted for a 4WD with the knowledge that I won't use it often. It's like insurance.

 

Roger that

 

So is this:



CV axles tend to get a little... explodey when you get huge amounts of travel and sick air. That's why all trophy trucks and other such neat vehicles stick to solid axle in the rear only.

Don't get me wrong- I love my 4x4s too, but if you think Prerunners are weaksauce you may have brain problems.

Just don't expect to crawl out of mud bogs with one.

 

No go on the pre-runner

 

If you have to ask, you probably already know the answer.

Additionally, if you get the 4X4, you won't be wishing you had. You're even less likely to wish you hadn't gotten 4X4.

 

Isn't.

 

How far north are you?

 

I need to sit down and read that thing. Never heard that before.

 

75 miles south of Texarkana

 

Ah okay. You have better off road choices there. Pretty much everything is flat down here south of Baton Rouge.

 

AHHHHH, one can get stuck on flat terrain as well -- it all depends what the "flat terrain" is made of and how much much moisture it contains!
