I understand the pros and where you coming from with having a 4x4! But its not a biggie with me and my lifestyle! If I was a outdoors-man,I mean a TRUE one then yes, I would have one or one just for hunting or fishing! I like trucks because I like the room in them while you drive. I mean these new truck are comfortable. The worst part about having a truck is, when people move for one place to another, they ALWAYS want touse your truck or help them move with your truck! I hate that!
