Ok im considering a 4x2 now. After driving the 4x2 I just think it drives much smoother. Besides what do I need 4x4 for.

New price out the door 24000
Lariet 4x2 5.4l 3.55 etc etc. same truck as before.

What ya think?

Well I agree with you, if you don't have a need for a 4x4 it's a waste of money in the extra $3000 something it adds to the sticker, the extra gas you will use, and your insurance will be higher.

I personally use a 4x4 because I go offroad once in a while (not as often as I would like) and I like being taller.

Cuz it looks better!:D

Sorry, couldn't resist. Where I live, you don't see many, if any, 4X2's.

In North alabama it only snows maybe once a year, MAYBE. Just cant justify the extra money for the looks. Besides the 4x2 still sits up higher than my ranger.

It drives really smooth too.

The look of the 4x4 is exactly why I bought a Lariat and a 3" body lift that I installed myself for $150. The only major difference in appearance are slightly different tires (Same rims as Lariat 4x4 back in 2001, but tires are a little shorter in stance), and fog lights on the front bumper.

Anyone who looks real close may notice, but it definitely gives you back 90% of the 4x4 improved looks. Point of story is that I didn't need 4x4 in Texas, didn't want to pay $3K more for worse gas mileage and more things that could break, but I wanted the look.
