I have the F150 2010 Fx 2. cruzing on the hyw I can get 100km/12liters.
I have had quite a few trucks over the years but they have always been 2 wheel drive. The reason is most of my of driving 99% of the time only required a 2 wheel drive truck. (Service work carrying tools. across canada) The other 1% where it would be required I avoided the situation. I drove all around Calabogie and Renfrew over Christmas in that big snow storm which I agree was quite a challenge but I just slowed down and took a lot more care when driving in the deeper snow covered areas. I agree a 4x4 is a lot better getting things done for those who really need them but how many of us realy do.

I would be interested in hearing how many of you buy the 4x4 and really need it compared to the 2 wheel drive.

I went with a 4x4 and it gets turned on a few times a month when I get stuck. Sometimes I get sent to the farm for whatever reason, the pits at the race track gets muddy with heavy rain and I hunt, so every once in a while I end up in the mud/snow.

Over christmas I had to go pull someone out of the back of their property when they thought a 2 wheeled truck could make it back through 3' snow with muddy ground under neath. Then I went back in to get the trailer they were trying to get.

I owned a 2wd truck ONCE with an open diff and I will never, ever do that again.

I think that most people with trucks truly don't need them... I say to the gf all the time how I wish I could get by with some tiny little car, but I just simply couldn't.
