4x4 or 2wd? - Page 2 - TundraTalk.net

Dav1550 · 02-15-2008, 09:05 AM

I do some lite 4-wheeling a couple of times a year and even if I didn't figure the option would add to the re-sale value..
Which imagine will not be anytime soon if this one holds up like the other 2 I've owned... My first toyota truck "yr 80" last me 10 yrs (rolled it in a ice storm), and the second one "yr 90" drove for near 17yrs ( more or less got tired of driving it and had been holding out for toyota to come out with what I perceived as a substantial truck of some capability).

I have a 4x4, but I'm wondering if I could have got by with the 2wd for better gas mileage.
Anyone know the "real world" difference?

I have 4WD.
When I use it a lot.
My mpg's go down about 3mpg.
So I would think it would be about the same.

4x4 was the way to go for me. Still some places around here to go. Most people do not go 4 wheeling in a 2 wheel drive.

4wd.... i always wanted one and that was the real treat for myself.... the 4wd, eventhough i treated myself with the truck in the first place, i wanted to spoil myself with 4wd

4x4 only way up here as you either hit the skeg or clay if you slide off what the oil companies call a hi grade ( dirt and crap pulled from each side to make the drainage), and need lift to save lower fenders when you do. Went with B package to delete stiff shocks, rides real nice on washboard roads. Have not seen a 2 wheel unit since 1985 in the patch.

Went up to the white mountains by Loudon, to get an idea for the next year at the track, on Xmas Eve from Newport, RI in a 98 Chevy and the snow was a very good challenge for a 2wd. Almost spent Xmas up there.
