4 x 2
I drive this beast to work everyday in southern California. I liked the idea of the 4 x 4 but for me, the ride just plain sucked when I test drove one. The 4 x 2 rides and handles so much better on the street. Though, I certainly appreciate all the good reasons people have posted for having a 4 x 4.
Anyone keeping track? more 2bys or 4 bys??

4x4!
When I bought my Dakota everyone said just get a 4x2, you'll never use the 4WD. That's the last time I listen to anyone, its been just the opposite. I'm tired of getting stuck in the sand and having traveling limitations. The roads around here are pretty nasty!

2WD for me - $2,400 + 2MPG over the life of the truck was too steep a price to pay...

4X4! Love the look, much better resale. I was tired of hearing on my old F-150 extended cab that I couldn't get what I wanted for it because it was not a 4X4. This is farm country and 4X4 sell well. I personally dont use it much, but for resale it will be great and the looks are GREAT!
