Howdy guys. New member here. About to purchase my first truck to tow 12,000 lb fifth wheel.
I am debating between 2wd and 4wd. I'll probably never need the 4wd. It's $3k more. It's heavier, so less towing capacity....But on the other hand, maybe it's good insurance for the rare "stuck" situation.
Question is this: If I don't use the 4wd at all, does it require any periodic maintenance? Will fuel mileage suffer? Will the ride be worse? Any other advantages of disadvantages I'm not aware of?
Thanks.
