I am in the market for a used 1/2 ton extended cap truck. (Ford or Chevy). I drive approx 50 miles round trip to and from work within the Twin Cities Metro area. I have found the 4X2s to be less expensive, obviously, but need to keep in mind the following. I have a 16 foot Lund Rebel that is looking to be towed by something a little bigger than a mini-van with a 3.3 liter engine. Almost all of the lakes I fish have ramps that do not require a 4X4 and want to get the best gas milage I can. Will a 4X2 get better gas milage than a 4X4? If yes, what milage can I expect.(City and highway). Will a 4X2 be able to tow up to 2000 without a problem?(I tow the Rebel up to 150 miles quite often). I've received some great info from this web site and am hoping the replies you give will help make this decision. Thanks in advance for your knowledge and/or opinions.!!!!
