    I’m curious if anybody knows how the resale value holds up on a 2X4 PreRunner vs 4X4?

    Does buying the 4X4 justify spending a little more up front and the MPG’s when it come time to sell it?

    Personally I like the peace of mind this switch gives me when I need it.

    Up here I NEED a 4wd just to get out of the driveway in the winter. I checked today's want-ads for trucks: 3- 2wd vs 31- 4wd. Can't hardly give a 2wd away. IF I lived south tho, I'd probably have a 2wd truck.

    Same here but for me its after it rains a lot. The yard gets so muddy that I can't move in 2wd. Now with the new tires, I should be able to do it in 2wd but I just need 4wd too much no not get it.
