I bought a 2wd X for numerous reasons.

1. I have absolutely no need for 4wd. The only off road driving I do is to get me and my bike to a trail head.

2. The insurance is less expensive on a 2wd than a 4wd. At least for a single, 26 year old male in NM it is.

3. There are less things that can break on a 2wd.

4. I have always loved the way the X looked.

5. It has tons of room for me, 3 friends, and all of our crap for biking, camping, going to dinner, whatever. Of course I was coming from a single cab, 2 seat GMC Sonoma, so anything would seem roomy compared to that!

Bottom line is that I couldn't be happier with my 2wd X. Why bother getting a 4wd just to join the "cool kids club", when a 2wd X does all I need and then some?
