How many of you have a 4x4 and have actually used it?

I have a 4runner and use it all the time here in Colorado. Used it this weekend to go camping in a dispersed camping area

I put it in 4wd auto every time it rains.

I built a whole ramp using 4x4s as the support. of course they were treated.

I have one and got stuck 2 weeks ago. Put it in 4 high and got out.


Sometimes I may go years without needing it but when I’ve needed it comes in handy.

There’s a zero percent chance I will ever own a pickup that’s not 4x4 unless it’s a classic truck like a 70’s or 80’s Chevy.

I use mine whenever it rains a lot and I have to move my utility trailers around, so pretty regularly during the wet months. And it was a Godsend when it snowed this past year. Not a feature I use every day but I wouldn't own a truck without it either.

All year long around the deer lease with my heavy arse f250

4 auto in the rain otherwise maybe a couple times a year during hunting season

Everytime it moves it is in 4wd.

I use it all of the time. It was also nice to have when it snowed earlier in the year, auto 4wd was nice.

Why would anyone buy a 4x4 if they would never use it?

kinda like an airbag....you don't need it until you need it.


I use mine at boat ramp mostly.
