My 2002 F250 was a 4X2. On at least two occasions I needed help getting off wet grass after a night of rain. Dianna stated that the next truck should have 4X4, so it does. When I got the 2008 F350 with 4X4, I really didn't expect to use it very much. After significant rains in central Texas and our dirt (mud) road, I have used it to traverse the 1/4 mile to pavement, once with the Montana.

Last week a heavy rain covered a culvert and a Tundra had his right front wheel ensconced to the axle. With the 4X4 in low, I eased him out. I hardly noticed he was back there.

While in Ashville, NC, we stayed at a Mountain campground. At the guide's instruction we put it in low 4X4 and cranked up a very steep access road to the site. Needless to say, these experiences have changed my perspective.
