My last 3 vehicles have been 4x4, Chevy 3/4 ton, Jeep YJ, and a Tahoe. When I bought my X I just didn't have the extra 2G to spend on 4WD. The only time I ever use 4WD anymore is on the boat ramp and I really don't NEED it then. The occasional trips to CO it helps also but I'll make it alright I think.
