Good all season tires (Nokian WR) and 500# of weight in the bed to stick it to the road.For snow you must have snow tires. Snow is not really something to worry about down here.
I had an 05 DC TRD OR Taco. Loved it! Still kick myself for selling it. Went anywhere, with locked rear differential nothing could stop it.One word. TACOMA. At 500k you'll thank me.
My 4.0 liter V6 pulls my boat and is 4wd and it only cost 35k new. My bank still values it at 28k and it is a 2013.
And it's about $4k less expensive too.The Ford electric locking rear end works good.
I'm thinking about buying a truck and I'm curious to hear thoughts on 4 wheel vs. 2 wheel drive. I would use it mostly as a pavement pounder. I like the Ford Lariat as it seems like a passenger car but I don't know if $4k difference in price is justifiable for 4X4 vs. rear wheel drive only. Any suggestions that don't include me doing something anatomically unlikely to myself?
For me I always gravitate towards a 4x4. One of those better to have it than not things. Between a couple hurricanes and the snow storm last year where SAV got like 3-4", with no plows for miles, I was one of the very few on the road. All the rest were 4x4s too.
