Is it that you're needing a 4x or more that you'd like a 4x?

 

If it's more that you'd like a 4x and that the like is because they look better to you then you could always do a 2wd lift kit.

My opinion is go drive a few of them, and see if the ride turns you off. Then if it doesn't, rent one for a weekend, and see if the gas mileage difference isn't too high for your driving style, then if all that is fine with you, and you can afford it, go for it. It doesn't pay for you to be unhappy in a vehicle. If you're not too far in the hole with this one, get out of it while resale value is still relatively high on it.

 

I know this is an unfounded, for lack of a better word, fear of mine, but I personally don't want a 4x4 because I don't want the transfer case to break on me. I'll just stay with my 2wd, and maybe in the future, if I ever need it, I will buy one, but for the time being, I'll stick with what I got.

I have had 4 x 4's in the past so this time I thought I would try a 4 x 2 and so far driving in snow I've had no problems (yet).... ..........better on gas too

My 4x4 is smooth as can be, albeit on the stock Goodyear tires. I wish I could make due with a 4x2, but I need four wheel drive just enough that I couldn't be without it: towing/hauling off road, snow/ice off road in winter.
