I've used 4wd once when I was towing a 6k utility trailer with my 1500 ram in city driving. It was raining pretty hard and everytime i would stop and go, the rears spun quite easily so i turned on 4wd and the prob was never to be seen again.

But highway towing and wet roads shoudlnt be a problem. 4wd will probably increase some resale value

Look at the front axle it looks to be a 4X4 to me. I think he didn't have it engaged when he first started.

It is 4WD...I was just busting JBS's ballz...Plus it has a winch just in case! That rig is awesome and I'm sure it tows the 50' Mystic just fine! If you haven't seen it up close and personal, you should attend a race and check it out! The tonneau cover lifts hydraulically to reveal 3 LARGE SCREEN LCD TVs and speakers with the whole strobe light show and bass pounding and....well either way it's pretty impressive!

The ride sounds nothing short of epic to me.

I cant really see the front end in that video, but it makes a lot more sense to me that it is 4WD. I just couldnt fathom dropping that kind of coin and not going all out.

I have forgotten to lock the wheels before myself and really dont need to about 90% of the time anyway

To make my rig lock up I usually have to straighten the whole setup- roll forward to let the differential locks engage then Ill roll backward-

Here's a video of the truck at a parade near us. It's pretty nuts.

What happened to the youtube option? Couldn't get it to work right.

Someone stated that it is cheaper to own a 2wd over a 4wd, insurance wise. That is dependent upon the state. The insurance company that I had in Utah gave a discount to 4x4 vehicles, called it a saftey feature.

Grow up in the farming world, you know what a 2wd truck is? Worthless

I have used launch ramps from the west coast to the east coast, always use 4wd. I couldn't even imagine trying to get my boat out of the water without it. Wait, did use 2wd once, when a u-joint broke and had a 4wd hooked to the front

Thanks for all the great info.... Lot's of good points on both sides of the coin. I still gotta get rid of mine but but have been looking a little. I'll post what I get as soon as I find it. I'm just gonna consider both and see what comes up for what deal.

Okay I decided since this has a 396 already and I already upgraded brakes I'll just use this is the spring.....
