Another thing to consider in the 2WD vs 4WD debate is use of the truck unloaded. Because of the weight of diesel engines in an unloaded condition the weight on the front axle of a pickup is greater than that on rear axle. I have gotten "stuck" in an 2WD diesel on dew covered grass and level ground when the front tires sunk in less than an inch. I was able to get "unstuck" by deflating the rear tires to 10 psi but I vowed never to own another diesel without 4 WD.
