1. more pay load
2. more towing
3. a lot less maintenance
4. better fuel economy
5. better ride quality
6. cheaper initial cost
7. No snow and truck is a tow vehicle not a woods beater!
8. If the wife goes into labor, tough it's not mine!
9. save a bunch of money on mods ( lifts, tires, shocks, etc.)
10. It will do everything a 4X4 will do and more in my environment.
Don't regret the decision one bit.

I love my F150, but I foresee that being a problem for me since mortar base plates take up so much room. Then there is the survivability issue. I think my F150 is rugged, but it just doesn't have the countermeasures needed for a modern battle field. I could see getting the tail gun on pretty easy, but there goes room for the base plate again.

4x4 because I can make it about 3/4 of the way up my hill in the snow with my truck in 2wd with limited slip, then I gotta turn the ****.

Girls/women absolutely form judgments/preconceptions on a man's form of transportation. Its a woman thing...they make judgments based on how much the vehicle costs, how much he invests in it, takes care of it, etc. If its a motorcycle that tells them certain things they may like or dislike.
A fat ugly guy or skinny geek with a nice smile and a fly ride will get some nice trim. I guess whatever you do have goin on be thankful cuz a focus surely is not a " _____ getter!"
