How important is 4x4

[noodledancer77]

It depends on what you do with your truck. To me, having four wheel is a luxury. If you are launchin a bigger lakes with good ramps, no problem with two wheel. If your duck huntin and fishin in small rivers launch off mud, then you have to have it. IMHO paying 5 grand more for four wheel when you might use it once a year is a waste. Whatever you decide, know your limitations and you'll do ok.

TO ALL: I appreciate your feedback and it seems to read like a tennis match. Each has a GOOD tid bit to throw out there. AND WOW I have never known as much about the ttroubles a Ford will lgive you....which I am sure everyone has their own experiences with each make of Truck. However, riding down Dixie I saw a GEM singing to me....J.....come test drive me...lol SO, without further adue...I am the proud owner of a 06 Lariat ....and yes with 4x4. I bought it reading this report because of the resell value of 4x4...and THATS IT!. It'll be nice when I need it to have it. Just hope I have no issues. The good truck Gods blessed me with a Ranger that gave me 200K on a V6 4.0 and is still asking for more everytime I turn the key. So, hopefully with the proper maintenance and care the F150 will give me more than that. Thanks for all the responses and opinions. They were all filled with good info. Bent rods all around!
