Let me first say that I'm not trying to start anything here or be disrespectful towards you, Dapper.

Based on my experience, Linus, if you're looking for a daily commute truck, I don't recommend a 4-wheel drive. I do a LOT of highway driving so gas mileage is important to me, and when I did the math before I bought my current Tacoma, a 4-wheel drive just wasn't cost effective, for me (despite me really wanting it to be). If the transfer casing isn't used on a regular basis and/or properly maintained, repairs can quickly get costly.

If you're looking for strictly a workhorse, the terrain calls for it and/or you're not concerned with gas mileage, I wouldn't have anything but a 4-wheel drive. My truck gets good highway mileage, yet is more than capable of handling my weekend warrior activities. It has a solid suspension with good ground clearance that can handle some tricky terrain without your mileage taking a hit.
