I've never noticed any difference between having several people riding
with me or riding by myself, leaves black streaks either way...Where do
you live? I have the opposite around here, all I ever see are 4X RC,
hardly ever see a 4X club cab.....I like having 4X if for no other reason
than peace of mind, I know it's there if I ever need it, and if I feel
like playing in the mud I can.......
