I don't even have a tow rig yet but when I get one, which will be here pretty soon, it's going to be a 4x4 and most likely it won't be a dually.
I just picked up another one. It is also a 4X4. The only way to go as far as I am concerned. Where I live a two wheel drive is just useless.
"The only way to go as far as I am concerned. Where I live a two wheel drive is just useless." rodger that
While not in to harsh a climate I do go places that make 2wd useless at times and as I have said in the past it only takes one time for you to wish you had it and you didnt buy it.
Lot of times Id have problems getin in and out of my drive way with out 4X4. This time of year espically.
4 x 4 dually tow rig I have the dually, 4x4 I need all the towing traction I can get to get my boat out of the water on a slippery ramp, normally I have no wheel spin at all, I put it in Low 4x4 locked and loaded.. Creeper gear is where it's at, unadultrated thundering cathedrals of torque, pumping power to all the axles.
I Would Never Own Anything But A 4x4, And For That Thinking I Have Never Ever Been Stuck..... The Ol' 4x2 Folks Cant Say That...
got stuck with my dodge last weekend in my front yard....thought the ground was solid enough well, about 60 yards in my truck all of the sudden sunk down. Then I got stuck with my chevy trying to pull out the dodge not having long enough chains... >>>> fun weekend. Lesson learned. 4x4 is worth s!*% if you don't have good tires. Both my trucks have stock tires on...for about 10 -15k more miles.
2wd or 4x4 As Burned Bronco said buy 2wd cheap.If you buy a 2wd you will most likley sell it cheap.I have had 1Bronco 2 that was 2 wheel drive and a F350 dually 2wd drive and lost more money on them than any 4x4 that I have owned.I really do not need 4x4 but watching resale prices that is the only way I will go
I have 2 choices. A 4-wheel drivewith dual rear-wheels for around drivin and movin my tractors and equipment. I also have a 2 wheel drive single rear-wheel I use for pullin my fifth-wheel and almost all highway drivin.
One single rear wheel 4x4 F350 One dual rear wheel Dodge 3500 4x4 Wouldn't own a gasser Wouldn't own a two wheel drive Why limit your self? In my line of work a truck is a tool and It has to perform in all circumstances. Why have a $45,000 truck that's useless in bad weather? Mayaswell buy a Corvette.JMHO. jim
had a 3500 dually sold it for my 2500 single wheel. i was not towing anything heavy enuff to justify the dually. plus they were killing me on bridge tolls. and now i am in a spot where i might need the dually again but i will have to wait till my boggin truck is done to know that answer...
My Tow Rig I have a 2000 Ford F-350 4x4 Single Rear wheel crew cab, 7.3 Liter Powerstroke. 3.73 gears pulls nice but i wish it was manual
