Thought long and hard about 2WD before buying my latest 350. Liked the idea of having less weight to service and haul around, less initial cost, and I'm old enough to remember when the only 4WDs available were war surplus jeeps and dodge power wagons. All 1/2 tons were 2WD in spite of long hard winters.
However, to get one meant special order as no one up here brings in 2WD. Short story, bought another 4WD (#4). Like the 4WD for all the reasons mentioned in earlier posts. Great insurance when you do find that slippery spot, really like the 4WD low for backing into rough or tight spots because you just idle in.
The final reason for me was that when I get too feeble to crawl back to hook up I have a better chance of selling a 4WD in this part of the country where you have 4 months of winter and 3 months of "bad sledding"
