I'm getting 4 wheel for two reason. One is for off roading but the other
is for when it rains around here. It's not very often but when it does the
roads get quite slippery. Around town I will run it in 2WD and want to
take advantage of the 4Wheel ABS.
Why would I not want ABS for 4 wheeling. BTW 4 wheeling for me is not
vertical stuff. I would take it hunting and such but not to the point
where I'm totally vertical.
