I spent 5 years in Columbus (GO BUCKS!) and it barely even snowed there. Try living in Northern Ohio or Northern Indiana with only a 2-wheel drive truck. Especially if the city you live in really really sucks at plowing snow.
Like Moltenice found out - if I need to accelerate hard in the rain to merge or something I generally throw it in 4WD.

lol exactly, I think I had to drive in the snow a whole 3 days last year..... its kinda fun passing all you 4wd guys in a lowered 2wd truck on 22's
You wouldn't get anywhere in the Sierra, least when it's snowing... usually 7 months of the year.
