  Please elaborate. Why is 4x4 a necessity? It's a very expensive
option, and it seems that very few people REALLY need it. I'm sure
it's very nice to have in snow, sand, or offroad, but unless you
intend on encountering these conditions often, it just might be
overkill. 4x4 maintenance is more expensive, and there's the
extra weight to consider.

I agree 4wd is a necessity on small and mid size trucks. It awful nice to
know that when your driving through snow or mud or even pulling your
boat out of the water your not going to need the tow truck. In fact your
probably be a tow truck for 2wd trucks. If you never encounter these
conditions well then you will at least be making sure I have a job in the
future.
