I'm a 2wd owner and proud of it. If you need 4wd and actually going to use it, then buy one. But don't buy one solely because of peer pressure, that's just stupid. What is this high school? I think 4wds are in higher demand and easier to resell. Personally, I drive the wheels off my vehicles, so I'm not real concerned with resell value. If I lived in an area where snow and ice was a problem, I'd buy 4wd. But that's not an issue for me. Right now, ending my rambling comment is. 🤔

Being in northern WI for 30 years, Iv always had full size 4x4s. Working in SoCal this past 5 years, i bought a 2WD Tacoma to haul my dirt bikes around. Had to go on some rescue missions to pick up a broke down bike, amazed at what this truck goes through being so light {2.7 SR5 access cab is 3300lbs} without ever using the push button auto LSD rear diff. Ground clearance is king out here. I did drive it home last year, and stopped in dads driveway with him in it. Very steep slope and glare ice. He told me i was an idiot, but the ABS rear LSD walked me right up that hill where it just spun with trac control off. Despite the horrible ABS noise it makes, it will get u unstuck without 4WD

Turned out to be perfect for me. Yep I've only put her in 4x4 a couple of times but now I'll start doing doing it once a month! But it came in handy for the last couple of snow storms we had here in West Texas. (We almost never get snow lol) very happy with my purchase. Just wish the Auto unlock worked on both sides of the truck! otherwise happy with the truck!

@RobMotive 4 года назад

I’m not a big fan of the packages in that you typically get more than you want to get what you want. Good to have 4wd if you need it. Can’t think that I’ll need it here in south Texas, but I’ll have it in the new Tacoma👍

@brandonsheaffer5035 2 года назад

Just secured loan and am going to purchase a 2007 prerunner sr5 4x2. Especially in these times, I just can’t justify the extra cost of purchasing and owning a 4x4. Just to even begin looking at a 4x4 Tacoma, I was already going to spend an average of 8k more for a truck with 50-80k more miles than the 4x2 I found (69k miles on it). In addition to higher insurance costs, higher maintenance costs, etc. I live in PA and we get some brutal snow storms here, but it’s only maybe 1-3 every season and the rest of the year is pretty well and clear or just hit with a light flurry. I’m good with a 4x2 if it means I have a lower cost of ownership and purchase.. I just want a truck so I can help my family out and do more things on my own. Don’t care about off-road capability or anything of the nature.. if the weather is so bad that my truck won’t be able to drive in it, guess I shouldn’t be out anyways… happy with my purchase

@mikefoehr235 4 года назад

Here in Canada things are interesting. When i bought my truck, i had to get 4WD if i wanted the 4.0 l V6. If you buy a 2WD pickup from Toyota, you cannot get the V6. I am sure it is still like that. Since the 4WD can tow more and i have a camp where i need 4WD to get there and we have winter, i got 4WD. I find there is not that much extra maintenance. I get the front prop shaft greased and have the prop.shaft bolts torqued per Toyota maintenance schedule. Every 100 000kms i have the two diffs, transfer case and transmission fluid replaced. My wife and I have a 5000 pound hybrid camper, so again, the 4WD with the V6 is a better choice. The 4 banger doesn't cut it.

And most 4WD owners aren't driving anywhere near deep snow, or any of those other things. There are advantages and disadvantages to both. With some overlap. Plus... having a locker doesn't mean it's engaged all the time. 99% of the driving I do, is open axle 2WD, which is to say 1WD 😂 ... I only turn on the locker when I need the other wheel to provide drive power to the surface to ensure slippage isn't a problem.

@@ApolloTheDerg most people with 4wd trucks never put them in 4wd. I drove a 4wd for years and used it on average once a year. And even then it was just because I had it, not because I needed it. I have a 2017 Tacoma 2WD sport and was offered more than I paid for it last week from the same dealership I bought it from. Resale value isn't hurt. At the end of the day and to your point, it really depends on where you live on whether a 4wd vs 2wd is more desirable. I'm in the flat south and don't plan on ruining my truck by mudding. It's a utility truck and daily driver. Some folks can't get past the machismo "ain't a truck unless it's 4wd" bs, while others eventually grow out of it and realize what they actually need.

@ApolloTheDerg 3 года назад

@@bigbassjonz down south maybe, a fat maybe. Where I am I slid backwards downhill while in 4x4, to say even it’s not enough at times is applicable. Need lockers too tbh. Just seems pointless to me in many cases where people snag a truck they want to build and have fun with, lift and put big tires on, but they cheap out for some 2wd rig. If your gettin a nice truck why wouldn’t you want the extra features anyways as I say. Even if it was on pavement most of the time it’s nice to be able to do more if you ever feel so inclined, I took my old ram on back Mountain roads and went camping. I take my diesel F250 camping on roads that would chew up a cars undercarriage, I don’t even have to use it a good amount of time, but have you ever been stuck in mud? Absolute life saver, I would have forked out bigger bucks just to be bailed out off a road. Seldom used utility that’s saved my but in weird places. Speaking of, my buddy got his 2wd truck STUCK IN HIS LAWN, and had to have a tow truck winch him out, from his back yard in a suburban neighborhood. You don’t have to be an avid off-road guy to ever utilize it but hell that would save you some embarrassment. Needless to say that truck is now 4x4 after an axle swap and TCase added. Just so very practical if you use your truck for more than a grocery getter. Utility truck especially, if you do any work sites that aren’t paved you can sure try to get by with that 2wd but even in the high desert where I live I’ve seen some poor suckers bury down till their rear axle pumpkin is on the ground. Heck my neighbor has a 2wd Jeep... they spent 10 minutes trying to leave their driveway this winter spinning both rears while someone pushed. I’ve also gotten stuck on my own lawn before, set the sucker into 4x4 got out with ease. Basically what I’m saying, if you actually use your truck 4x4 is a great save my ass kinda tool, it isn’t about how often you off-road, it’s when the stupid small things come up and you find yourself in a sticky situation, say you drive across your own lawn for some small task and next thing you know your winching the poor thing out. It’s just comical.

A V6 4x2 access cab with a winch should be enough, a 4x4 needs one anyways if you’re serious. Also who wants to go off roading alone, Just get an atv or dirt bike. Some national parks only allow 4x4 during snowfall but their are more days of the year. If you need to travel in the infamous winter roads you can always rent a 4x4. The v6 can still haul just learn how to do it safely like the 4x4.

My 2019 Tacoma is my 3rd truck but the first 4x2. Part of me wishes I’d gotten the 4x4 just to have it, but being in Dallas and even having used the previous two trucks to pull travel trailers (including to Alaska) I never really needed the 4x4. In fact I’d still have the last previous truck if it hadn’t been for the transfer case breaking down. This was a hugely expensive repair, fortunately covered by extended warranty, but the truck didn’t seem right after they fixed it...

I have two toddlers, mainly use for camping, or to Reno/Lake Tahoe for snow fun days (nothing special). After watching your video, yes I will get the V6, 2WD instead of the 4WD. You own a Tacoma 2WD and you also test drove 4WD. If you go back in time would you purchase and get the 4WD instead of 2WD? Thanks.

I've seen a 4wd 2008 for sale with 695,000 miles so maintenance isn't so much of an issue when it's a Toyota. 2nd generation Tacoma's that were 2wd looked terrible compared to 4wd ones, so it's all in the eye of the beholder.

Not sure, but I think it is AWD then 4wd when locked. Also, has a inch or two auto height adjust, low and high 1-drive gears, and some kind of rock crawling mode that I have never used. Too nice to even think about rock crawling. Just mostly drive in town, but it drives over the many potholes without much notice. Also, last winter I went down a steep icy hill with a stop sign at the bottom because of crossing traffic. Put it in 1st low diff lock. The car had so much traction with normal tires that I had to use my gas pedal to get down “the obstacle.” It’s a heavy mini tank with comfy leather seats...terrible gas mileage...blame me or thank me for some global warming.

Mainly, is that I never plan on using 4wd or going off road. So I would be happy buying either 2wd or 4wd. I bought 2wd to save money. 4wd is +4k. But i discovered the 4wd transfer case needs oil change every 50k miles. It is extra time wasted on something id never use. I drive 50k miles per year. So i save just over a dollar a day or $1000 per 100kmiles. If i drive this to 500kmiles. I save a total of $7,500. If i get stuck in mud like before, i use my bumper mounted winch or traction board or dig myself out. The only way I see myself using 4wd is in an empty grass lot after rain. But that would happen a handful of times. So I would be rewarded a $1000 everytime I winch myself out not bad.

Given, it comes with a factory locker. Note my boat is only 16 ft. I traded in my 13 Tacoma 4x4 for it cause I did not have to use the 4wd and got tired of the increased cost in ownership. In a side note, another reason for worse gas mileage is that in Tacoma, your front driveshaft and front axle are still spinning even in 2wd. It only disconnects at the transfer case. This was an advantage of manual locking hubs. The new JL Wrangler on the other hand disconnects it at the axle electrically for gas savings.
