2 wheel drive is to get stuck, 4 wheel drive is to get out!

And Bushman, some of the hills I have clawed up would been absolutely impossible in 2wd. Ended up having to crawl almost sideways up the hill. No hitch point to winch from and the ground was what appeared to be old river rocks from .5 to 3" in diameter. You could barely stand on the stuff. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Well Andy, when I bought my truck it had almost 27K miles on it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I have a Toyota Tundra double cab, 4x4, with the TRD Off Road package. It is loaded. I drove this truck to Alaska last winter, from MA. Great truck!!

I've been to Alaska but not for as long as I would have liked.

Toyotas are excellent trucks, we ha ve had two older ones on the ranch. Super tough.

That is really sweet you were able to drive to Alaska. One day I want to do that.

Nobody wants to admit that they drive a car instead of a truck! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Haha! I drive both daily. A little '06 Hyundai Tiburon. Trucks are not as fun in parking lot traffic. Southern California.

I have driven all kinds of trucks at work, from f-150's to f-750's. Chevy and Dodge as well. 4x and 2x. We have super fine sand dunes out here so getting stuck is just a matter of time. I do love pushing my limits in the 2x <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I recently got a route where I have to drive through a lake at a country club. It has a sweet golf course and many pools. The look on people's faces is priceless!

I drove hood deep in a 2x Chevy 1500. 6 cyl. I swore I wasn't going to make it out but it took it like a champ.

My Hyundai I've taken to Vancouver. I love that car. I was paying $24 per tank, which is about 350 miles. I've also had a '95 Mitsu galant(great 2.4 4-banger), a '99 Chevy blazer (rolled it off an embankment(black ice) drop of 40' and by the grace of God survived without the need of even a bandage),and an '05 Chrysler 300- the ladies loved it but I felt like an old man in it.

Well, how about I set the bar really low so no one else feels bad.

My old car use to be nothing other than a Lada Samara. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

It needs hooks on the side to hang kangaroos on, doesn't it? I'm thinking of the movie Razorback.
