We were told to get a 4WD. After looking on Craigslist and online at local dealerships, we realized it would be cheaper to ship. We purchased a Ford 4WD and shipped it. Used the 4WD once after cutting some trees. Had a crossover that was paid for, so shipped it over. The 4WD we brought was a super cab with hardly any hauling space, so we got another truck here with full size bed. The full size bed much more practical for us.
If had to do all over again...a truck with full size bed. Do not see need for 4WD, but we have really good roads where we live. I love our crossover, road clearance is great. Due to the cost of gas, and the distance one can travel to get from point A to B, a smaller car (if roads permit) for everyday in and out of town driving would be what we would have on hand instead.
Hope these tidbits help. The registration fees kind of shocked me. I came from a state that based taxes on the value, not weight.
Best wishes
