Don't forget resale value. 2wd is typically not desirable. However, the 2wd technically has a higher weight capacity. The few times I've needed 4wd has been very handy. Especially in the snow.

One last thing to consider and it was what put me over the top and into the 4X2 category. The 4X4 sits about 6 inches higher in the air than a 4X2. So you immediately loose clearance between the truck and trailer. For me, I never found a real need for 4X4 when pulling, so it was a waste of money. Get what you NEED not what you want and drive happy.

I agree with most above, you will lose 1-2 MPG when going to 4WD.
Best of luck with your decision!

Agree with others....don't think you'll notice much difference in fuel milage unless the 4WD is engaged..
