No, I have to be at work no mater what. My Jeep Rubicon and Toyota FJ Cruiser both got me there on days we had horrific blizzards.

No way a 2 wheel drive would get though our blizzards.

Can and have done it. 2wd mini trucks with open diffs and chitty car tires. It is possible

Lived in Denver for 3 yrs. First and best thing I did was trade my 2wd for a 4x4. Never regretted it, sunshine OR snow.

10000 miles...never turned the knob...don't even know if it works.. Truck drives nice and quiet though...I just like the feeling of sitting high and driving a truck.

Hell no. I'm lucky they plow my road at all. Half the time they plow it when they feel like it. So, if I need to go out, I need 4wd.

I grew up in Wyoming and owned several trucks. All but one was a 2WD. I had pull chain, tire chains, weight in the bed, shovel and jack just in case. I used the 2WD on many hunting and fishing trips.

I got stuck two times last year in snow storms in my 2wd. It's such a helpless (and ticked off) feeling and yes I know how to drive in snow. I told myself no more 2wd's and bought an FX4. I realize no vehicle is perfect in snow but this baby will increase my odds by a long shot! Hopefully I can finally be the guy helping someone out of a snow packed road this winter!

Negative. When you don't think you need it, that is the moment and year that you do. Snow storm a few years back left most of MD stuck.(Me included), althought the all wheel drive Caravan did well; didnt have a 4x4 truck, then later that year decided to get me a Yota, Best choice I made. A must have for a truck unless your on the trailer queen scene.

When I had my other truck, it was a 2wd and I got around just fine in the snow. I had a limited slip differential, but I also carried sand bags with me. I even made a frame to hold them over the axle.

However, now that I own some property and hunt some other properties, 4wd is needed for these areas. I couldn't even drive on wet grass without slipping and sliding.

With good snow tires and weight in the bed, yes. But I'll never go back to a 4x2. The convenience of 4WD is great. When it snows, no worries. Get on wet grass and an incline; no problem.


Just a few weeks ago I had a load of loam on my trailer and had to back it up a 7% hill on my lawn. 4WD low was a big help. Takes a lot of stress off the trans and no wheel spin. 4x2 wouldn't have done it.


My first truck was a 4x2 Jeep Comanche, and with weight in the bed and snow tires, I could go anywhere. A full size doesn't go quite as well with 4x2 because they have a lot more weight to push.
