Hello all - trying this
again, I don't think it went through the 1st time...
I'm finally getting around to purchasing my own rig.....first comes the
tow vehicle purchase....I'm looking at Tahoes and Yukons (I'll only be
towing a 2 horse trailer).
My question is whether I should look for 4WD or not. I want to have
it, just in case, but am having a hard time finding a nice used vehicle
that has 4WD plus the other stuff I want/need. 2WDs are much more
common, a bit less expensive, the towing capacity is a bit higher, and
my options are much greater than with 4WD. Only about 1 out of every
20 used Tahoes or Yukons I've found is 4WD.
So, realistically, how many of you that have 4WD really use it a lot?
Do you find you need it frequently, say to get in and out of basecamp
at certain rides, and would say you couldn't live without it? Do I
really, really NEED 4WD?
I've had a 2WD Explorer for the past 9 years and have wished for 4WD
exactly twice. Both when visiting my parents in the Oregon mountains
at Christmas. Other than that, I've never needed it. But I haven't
towing horses around with the Explorer either.
Any advice on my dilemma would be appreciated! I've found a really
nice 2007 Yukon that has every other option I want, but it's 2WD and
I'll need to make a decision today.
