Jackalope let me get your #.
You can come pull me out when I get stuck! I bought my 2007 Ranger 2 wheel drive about 6 months befor I knew I was moving back to WA. Don't need 4x4 in Florida.

I wanted a 4x4 (I normally have that as my rig)...but they were hard to find for the Rav's when I was looking..people seem to hang onto them. So, it makes it interesting at times when I am out with the 2 wheeler....hell...it doesnt even like wet grass..

4x4 now...a couple of options around here....
But, I have probably put more game in the freezer over the years out of cars and 2wd stuff.....We once hauled an elk in the trunk of a two door escort, with a deer over the hood. Maybe six miles to camp, to load it all into a truck later...

That does suck Saylean to get stuck on a small wet grassy slope. 4x4 for me always ! I only go to four wheel when I need it and always say "sweet" when I flip the switch on the dash and get the hell out of there.

4x for sure. This is probaly the redneck coming out in me, but of ALL the rigs Ive ever had, there has not been a car or 2x in the mix. Im very partial to the Bronco's from 66-79. With a rack on my 78 we have all the room we need, and even the fullsize are small enough to get into some tight spots.

I have a 4x4 but must admit my Daddy always taught me to drive till your stuck in 2 wheel drive, then use 4 wheel drive to get unstuck, if you need to get father down the road, start walking. Then at least your hunting instead of working on a stuck truck. Must admit I have not always followed that advice, sometimes to my detriment.

4x4, but I have used my wifes Chevy Corsica for hunting when we had it. My first rig was a 79' Chevy Luv. That thing would go anywhere in the woods, but put me on pavement on a hill after a little bit of rain, and I would need to feather that clutch to keep it from breaking loose. Some sandbags in back sure helped a lot. After that I got an 88' dodge dakota with a canopy and canopy kit. Then I went to a 1980 dodge ram with the 360. I miss the old trucks since I didn't care if they got beat up or scratched.
