TexasCTD

Yep, in Texas I would guess well over half of the CTDs are 4wd, maybe 75 percent......but the hemi trucks are probably only 10 percent 4x4.

I will never own another truck that isn't 4x4. Course I don't plan on getting rid of my current one for a LONGGGGGG time either..


Timberman........is the guy that wants to pull you got a 4x4 hemi??

Timberman

Yeah, he's got 4wd, and the super-bling 20" wheels. Pretty nice truck. I raced him last fall, neither of us had the other. Pretty even. That's what has him thinking about hooking up, I guess. The dummy. I'm just not sure how my highway tires will do in the dirt. He's got BFG's on his.

I agree, there are a few 2wd trucks around here, mostly just old men have them, but by far most are 4wd. It would seem silly not to have that option, I've seen them get stuck in loose gravel.

Why do people think that dual rear wheels = twice the traction?

You would have BETTER traction with only two rear wheels.
I.E. all the weight from the rear would be on TWO contact patches instead of divided by FOUR.
Duals spread out the weight for increased Weight Carrying Capacity, not TRACTION.
