In going on 6 years of full timing I have had very little reason to use 4x4. We started out and spend most of our time in the West and SW. Using a 4x4 tow vehicle will cut down on the tow capacity it has. That 4x4 equipment adds weight which means less can be towed.

If you plan on going off road a lot it may be useful to you but you still have to stay inside the towing limits of the vehicle.
