An suv with a trailer makes FAR more sense than a 2wd truck
Wtf lol
I need a bed but no need for 4wd, like 90% of the rest of this board probably. No hooking up a trailer for the 40 times a year I haul lumber or the 50 times a year I take trash off.
If I see a hole I can't go through, I just don't go through it
And in my 25 years of driving in LA, never once have I needed 4wd for "snow"

What year and what axle options?
well, I didn't run his VIN, to find out that info, he bought it new a couple of years ago. I don't know what engine it has either, it's not my truck. I know it has automatic transmission.

Both? At the same time?
I didn't see, I was still at the house when he tried to back up the hill, but since you asked, I walked out there and checked his ruts. It's just a single rut in 4 different places. So it appears that he has an open axle. Did you have a point with this?

In my experience, most 2wd 1/2 ton pickups have open axles, so most of them are really 1wd. You can always add a locking spool. I doubt he will do that though. My driveway to the shop is pretty steep and narrow, I doubt he will need to back up anything similar very often.

I use it maybe just a few times a year. I was really glad to have it after hurricane delta. I was one of the few people able to get out of the neighborhood.

In my uncle's case, he needed a gravel grip.

Bilstien 5100 set to 2.1 or 2.8 is the best option.
