Is your tow rig a 2wd or 4x4?

Come work for me, I bet you will want a 4X4..

 

I have a 4x4 dually and would not be without. But............ tires can make or break the day also. As a fencing contractor I get of road some, and the other day I pulled into a hay field where it had rained the day before. It was solid, but slick and my transforce HT couldn't eve throw mud.rotfl(Tires were on the truck when I bought it).

 

Try the Transforce AT, much better tire and will last longer, I use those for winter time and Michelin the rest of the year.

And of course even 4X4 I carry chains and a come a long. :stir:

 

I tow a sawmill the 4wd gets me in and out on wet grass and 4l is good for backing into tight places would not be without 4wdrive

 

i bought a 2wd this time as i have no need for a 4x4 tow rig. i know some places and jobs you NEED 4x4... but i dont plan on using the truck for that...

some day i will have an additional tow rig that will be a 4x4. one of each never hurt... lol

 

Good question and fun stuff. A couple of interesting things happened to me this year in my Yukon srw 2x. First, while pulling a 33' tt out west, my son (bless his heart) misguided me into what was someone's back yard (Arizona style sand pit), and I just knew we were in for a situation. As this vehicle has a rear locker - that combined with the weight, kept us from getting stuck and really embarrassed or possibly shot. God knows. I was amazed we made it out. The 2nd incident came when I wasn't towing anything, but got turned around in the smokey mtns. On the side of the road was plenty of room for me to pull off and it was flat and level with the road so I thought no problem. But the grass was wet. I actually got stuck in the grass. It was temporary because I wasn't getting buried. The tires just kept spinning. Not enough weight I suppose.

I guess the moral of the stories is 2wd stay on the pavement or well maintained road for sanity's sake. I kind of wish I'd bought a 4x. I didn't realize my son couldn't read a map or the posiblilty of a 3/4 ton vehicle being too *light*.

 

4x4, gotta have one around the barn lot.

 

Overall I'm happy with mine. I sometimes wish I'd gone ahead and went with a DRW but mostly because I wan't to go to 24.5" wheels otherwise their not practical for me. I won't own a 2WD in the mountains, their useless unless you never leave the pavement.

 

Always have had 4x4 trucks/ SUV's. Would rather have it and not need it rather then need it and not have it! waytogo

 

Right on, man. The extra cost of having a 4x4 is well worth it to me. I lock mine in once every few weeks to use it. The low range in the t-case is nice too. Some people I guess would never use it though.

 

single tire 2wd for me. i live in ohio and just do my best to avoid situations that would get me stuck. plus; i know me; and if i had 4x4 , i would have it lifted and big tires and then go out and break it. so this way( 2wd) i dont have to worry about it. the only time i wished i had a dually was before i bought the sway bar for my toy hauler. it got really windy and she danced a little. the dual rears would have been much more stable for sure.

 

4x4. I myself would not buy a 2wd. I like the piece of mind that I've got it if needed. Plus I have live on a farm and there is almost always a situation where 2wd just is not an option. Sometimes I wish I had a dually though.

 

Its the 2wd in the sig line. Pulls a 32' travel trailer pretty well for a half ton truck with a small block.

 

4x4 with dual rear wheels.

 

4x4 no question about it.

The one time you need it you will be glad you have it.

 

4x4 with single rear wheels

 

4X4 with dual rear wheels. With a dually you really need the 4X4 if you live anywhere where it may snow.

LT.

 

4x4 SRW for me also. I pull a 40ft Toy hauler and have not experienced any stability issues yet. Dually would be cooler, but heck, then I have to pay for more tires and probably less fuel mileage. Scotty
