There are a couple of members of our club with similar non 4 x 4 trucks. The duallys have a high flotation and little traction in wet grass, gravel, mud, snow and even wet streets. At every show, one or more that were forced to park in an unfavourable area,  requests a tow to the road. The members routinely wait until everyone has left the field at the end of each show, looking for any duallys that were stuck.

My neighbour sells some hay off his fields, using a kicker to load his wagons. A customer with a dually hooked up to a loaded wagon and couldn't move. I was nearby with my Kubota 4 wheeler RTV, BSing with my neighbour. With only a 23 hp diesel and 4 wheel drive, I pulled the loaded wagon to the road, where the truck was able to hook up and go.

If you've ever needed a 4 X 4, or have been in less than perfect conditions, I would not recommend this truck for towing, on anything other than open hard roads.

A 4WD has never kept me from getting stuck, it's only left me stranded in worse places.  I do like my F350 2WD Dually, but I stay to the blacktop 99% of the time.

That's what I was thinking, my parents haul all over the place with a 2WD and no problems. It's no different than realizing any other limits your rig may have.

Getting "stranded in worse places" with 4x4 is driver error, has nothing to do with 4x4 vs. 4x2.

I have 4x4 and 99% of the time 4x2 will suffice.  Like HWbar said, you have to understand your limits.  So for the other 1% of the time........do you want to gamble the 4x4 button will be enough?  Or just start out looking for a guy with a chain?

Seems like I get stuck more than my fair share even with 4x4, both through bad choices and 'I need to get through there'.  With just 4x2 I would certainly be stuck more.  There is no "right" answer, only the owner of the pickup can make the decision if 4x4 is worth it.

You couldn't give me a 4x2 pickup........well maybe you could, but I would sell it and buy a 4x4.

I was taught early in life that you go as far as you can with your 4x2. When you get stuck, you put it in 4x4 get unstuck and turn around.

I work construction sites, I always have a trailer hooked up to my truck, (skid loader, dump trailer, Mini excavator) I pull in and out of some pretty muddy places in all seasons. I also like to ski and after a good storm the canyons are Open to 4x4 and closed to 4x2 traffic.  A privately owned truck around here is almost always a 4x4.  The only 4x2s you see are fleet vehicles or put of state plates.
