Thank you all for your comments so far.
The two differing opinions of Randomq and Pander75 are the crux of the issue for me. The purchase & fuel savings on 2x (clearance & fats) driven with caution and possibly a winch for the occasional bog down compared to peace of mind of 4x.
If folks like Randomq are able to drive in areas similar to mine without tearing through vehicles too quickly(?) that might suite my budget and driving style just fine.
However if bringing in heavy loads down rough roads, even slowly, are going to destroy it in the first year or two than better not. Possibly a 2x with beefed up suspension?
I haven't bought the truck yet and have over a year to do so. This discussion is appreciated.
On another note I have read that some people have managed to ship their vehicles loaded with personal items, has anyone been able to do that and if so, how and with which carrier?
