are all pick-up trucks 4x4 nowadays?
I wonder if most of the newly built pick-up trucks (domestic or
imported) are made in four wheel drive? I recall in the old days that during the winter, pick-up trucks usually have problem with tractions, and they have to buy bags of sand to make sure that the rear wheels are not spinning. What about the new trucks and pick-ups? Are they now front wheel drive, all wheel drive, or 4 wheel drive? I hardly hear someone complaining that they have to load their pick up truck with bags of sand any longer. Is this still the practice during winter months? |

A 4x4 is an option. Since you pay in fuel mileage, If you don't need it, don't get it. > wrote in message oups.com... : I wonder if most of the newly built pick-up trucks (domestic or : imported) are made in four wheel drive? : I recall in the old days that during the winter, pick-up trucks usually : have problem with tractions, and they have to buy bags of sand to make : sure that the rear wheels are not spinning.

Depending on where you live, and the general common hobbies of your
area you will see more 4x4's. In snow country, wherer i live 4x4 is so common its hard to find a 2x4 on ther road at the moment. Many have a newer 2x4 that they use in the summer and an old beater 4x4 that they use in the winter. In california you may see many more 2x4's then 4 by's. Its all personal choice and preferance. |

The use of sand in the bed isn't relegated to 4x2's. My dad and
brother both have put sand tubes in the bed of their 4x4s. It helps keep the rear wheels planted, helps to get the tires down through the snow to pavement where they can get traction and keep from sliding out.

As all else have mentioned, 4X2's are still made and are easy to get, and
yes, it depends on where you live as to what you need, but more often what you are going to be doing with it. I made the decision to get my '99 F150 Lariat fully loaded with all options, but as a 4x2, simply because although I live on Long Island and although you can drive on the ocean beach, I was not going to take a brand new 30K truck out by the salt water. We get snow here, but not enough to warrant 4WD and it's as flat as a pancake. > wrote in message oups.com... > I wonder if most of the newly built pick-up trucks (domestic or > imported) are made in four wheel drive? > I recall in the old days that during the winter, pick-up trucks usually > have problem with tractions, and they have to buy bags of sand to make > sure that the rear wheels are not spinning.
