That said, I prefer RWD over FWD. It helps to also be able to use your right foot to steer.

I want my Nissan hardbody 4x4 back but I don't want the gas mileage that went with it.
I hear that. I've had a '01 Nissan Frontier 4x4 for the past 10 years. It's been a great truck but the MPG is awful. It's now become vehicle #2 behind a Honda Civic that gets much better mileage.
4wd for me. But I will take my beat up rusted out '79 chevy 3/4 ton over my '10 gmc 1/2 ton ANY DAY for winter weather. The 79 is bone stock mostly with skinnier tires that are about 32" tall. has a 4 speed instead of an auto. Mechanical everything (no actuators or servos to lock in the front axle or t-case). and a posi track. Once i get a locker in the front with careful driving it will go where you point it.
4wd doughnuts are really fun.
I bought an avalanche for our house projects and dogs..... haven't used the 4x4 once in nearly two years. Got around fine in a FWD Honda during "snowmageddon" and I had to work almost every day. Glad I kept the Honda.
My son went to school in Laramie, Wyoming. He drove a LOWERED Honda Del Sol all through one winter. The guys at his school nicknamed him Squeegee.
The 4x4 excursion does great going, 7.3l diesel in the front, 44gal tank hanging in the back.............can be hard to stop. 03' F250 4x4 CC LB does pretty well, with that said, I've had it on its side on an icy road, not the trucks fault. 71' ford bronco, locked front and rear, 4sp, split transfer case, I've not had the chance to use it yet in the snow/ice, so the verdict is out on that one.
Bbwwwwaaaa! You city boys impress me with your intimate knowledge of how a 2wd is superior to a 4wd.
You don't have a freeking clue about actually living in an area where a 4WD is used almost every day in the course of business.
Bring your 2wd street legal toy to my area on a dry day, and I'll put up a thousand dollar bet that you can't keep up with my Toyota Tacoma on the first challenge.
Then we will factor in a wet day, then a snow day.
Come prepared to make my new year much more profitable. cash is the only thing acceptable.

That's the reason I had to buy a four wheeler and semi retire the 3 wheeler.
