Never even considered a 4x2 when I got my truck. I do know some guys who prefer the 4x2 for some reason. They do use chains though. If I don't have 4x4 and it's snowing, I'm not going out.
A tall 4X2 truck with weight in the back and good winter tires is a great snow vehicle, even better if it has positraction. One of the people I helped get unstuck during that big storm on Wednesday was a cop neighbor, he has a short box, 2wd Ram 1500 with a Hemi, superwide summer tires, and no weight in the back but a cap, and no positraction. He turned into his driveway after getting home from work and stopped dead, had to pull him out with my tractor, once he was on the road again, ON LEVEL PAVEMENT, his tires had so little traction and so much rolling resistance (superwide tread) he could barely move at 2 mph. I drive my GMC in two wheel drive in the winter 98% of the time, and save the 4wd for when I actually need it. It's tall, has sticky tires and a locker in back...
