Awesome looking rig- but it looks like he bought it to "show" instead of to tow.
I cant believe they/he didnt check the 4x4 or posi box on the order sheet.

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!

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-
