Yeah if I lived where you do it wouldn't even have crossed my mind....I think one way or another I will have a 4x4....just whether I get a nice commuter and cheap 4x4 or the other way around.
Do the math on having two vehicles when it comes to maintenance, insurance, etc. When we bought my wife a new ride earlier this year, I was going to keep her old Subaru to keep miles off my truck and get better gas mileage. When I sat down and did the math on maintenance, insurance, registration, etc.......spread over a 2 year period, it didn't make sense at all for me to keep her old ride.
No doubt. I would pull minimum insurance legal and would only fix things affecting drive-ability, but yeah that definitely will have to be factored in....if I go one, I may just have to do an SUV or small truck because I have to drive over 50-100 miles some times for work occasionally and a full size truck with terrible mileage just isn't practical.
I haven't read the whole thread, and I'm sure this has been said, but iv driven 2 wheel drive and 4 wheel drive trucks in my life. I have never regretted having 4 wheel drive, but have wished for it when all I had was 2. They will be a bit more expensive, and a bit lower gas mileage a lot of the time, but if it allows me to get where I'm going, and to be safer on slick roads, for me it's a no brainer Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
