This could be touchy subject matter when comparing the options for the drive-train of an auto. You see, those guys that think they are accomplishing something in buying that huge, 4-wheel drive truck that sits above all the cars on the highway like an semi-tractor have a problem that Freud would like to analyze. Anyway, the subject is cost comparison, not something else.
The traditional 2-wheel drive auto has served humankind for many model-year events, as where the 4-wheel drive became popular about the time that Bubba took your daughter to the Monster Truck Pull that summer. With the hype behind the superior performance of a 4-wheel drive vehicle apparently has not driven one a a solid sheet of ice during a Memphis winter storm. Believe me, that will separate the men from the boys when trying to maintain control of a Ford F-150 Super-cab 4WD along Elvis Presley Boulevard without sliding into a group of excited, and cold Elvis fanatics.
4WD, good for off-road situations, like taking Betty-Lou muddin’ after the all-you-can-eat catfish fry at the Jaycee Banquet. 2WD, good for casual driving, not muddin’. There are money saving features of the 2WD opposed to the 4WD as well; the price of tires. Have you shopped for a set of Goodyear for a 4WD lately? Especially those with the tread that makes a sound like a Sherman tank coming down the street. So, that example shows the savings in one area of the two distinctions.
The last area of savings comparisons belongs to the that of auto insurance. Yep, the insurance companies rate the 4WD vehicles as a higher risk than 2WD, due in part for knowing that Bubba and Mary-Lou will be participating in the events aforementioned. So, shop and compare, do the math, and you will see the overall savings by investing in a 2WD vehicle. But, don’t take my word for it, read the literature available by browsing the Internet, or by contacting your tire store, insurance agent, and local car wash; for the removal of debris from the weekend spent muddin’ with Bubba and Mary-Lou.
