Found a decent deal on a 2010 Nissan frontier quad cab pick up. Decent price and miles and is real clean. Only thing holding me back is its rear wheel drive. My work truck is 2 wheel drive so I have experience driving all winter without 4 wheel drive, but I still don't know if I want to pull the trigger on a truck if it's not 4wd. What do y'all think? Would u get a rwd truck?
I understand your plight, but the answer is no Wisconsin. Sent from my iPad using Bowhunting.com Forums
Ahhh yes, the good ol' 2WD Frontier... I pulled the neighbor's up the hill just a couple months ago. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Depends, All city driving, maybe. In the country, hills, any off road driving, especially if there is any winter weather, no.
Had one truck that was 2wd. Never again 4x4 has been needed to many times. So 4x4 is a must for me. Lifting it is personal preference or if you have the money. Had one lifted once did great off roading but 10mpg wasn't coast effective for a daily driver. Sent from my SM-G920V using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
I drove a 2 wheel drive Chevy when I was in college. Great truck but useless in snow and even on wet grass.
I have had a couple 2wd trucks and never had a problem with a good set of tires on them. Used for hunting and ice fishing stay out of big drifts and its not like I was going mudding in the thing when hunting. know the limits of the truck. If you need to go through deep mud or need to pull an ice house on the lake then yea get 4x4 Winter is no problem for rwd people just don't know how to drive I had a rwd infinity car and never ever had a problem once.
I will say this a 2 wheel drive truck will go thru snow better than a 4 wheel drive truck in 2 wheel drive.
I'd rather drive a fwd minivan than a rwd truck at this point in my life lol. Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
There is nothing more frustrating than being "stuck" on wet grass. Sent from my XT1254 using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
How often do you honestly use the 4wd option? Couple times a year? And that's because you got stuck in the first place when it probably could have been avoided. I drive a a rear wheel drive truck everyday for work including all winter and have never come close to sliding off the road, getting stuck, or anything like that. Most of our fathers and grandfather's didn't grow up with 4wd I wonder how they made it?
Most off the vehicles that I end up seeing in the ditch during the winter are 4wd. Weight and good tires and shouldn't have problems. Resale value is worse with 2wd. Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
Personally, I wouldn't buy a 2wd truck. I live 2 miles down a gravel road that drifts heavily and 3 additional miles on a blacktop that also drifts heavily. Granted, a 4wd truck won't always get me home either!
I have little doubt I drove my prius on more trails than a lot guys have with trucks. I never got it stuck, but I knew my limits. This is a 'road' out here and only has a few muddy spots, I took the pic because with only 5.75" of ground clearance, I had to straddle the ruts. :D Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk
I also currently own a f250 that is a 2wd. I bought it as a favor for a friend in illinois. It has a lot of limitations out here because of the 2wd but it is great on the highway. Mpg isn't great (V10) but boy does it roll. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk
But if I were going to own just one vehicle, I would not buy a 2wd. We spend too much time out in the wilds for a 2wd or even just one kind of vehicle. We also carry chains and a hi-lift. My husband manage to get his jeep stuck even still. It now has a winch. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk
