I've been looking at new trucks recently (mid-size: Chevrolet Colorado, Toyota Tacoma, Nissan Frontier), and it's interesting that all three offer 2wd and 4wd versions of their trucks, and quite a bit of money can be saved going the 2wd route.
My current pickup (a Ranger) has 2wd, and with rare exception, I've never needed 4wd. It seems to be an option that most people would use infrequently, if at all, in real world use.
Negating resale value... is there a case to be made for 4wd over 2wd? Seems maintenance and repairs would be cheaper with 2wd, and gas mileage would be better. I'm having a hard time justifying why I would want to pay to add 4wd.
