I know where a Ford is much closer but he won't turn it loose.

Nice truck but missing that important piece that makes the front wheels turn too. A 2wd pickup is about useless.

Wow, if you don't have rust issues, that is a $30K+ truck.My 02 Powerstroke 7.3 old truck just clicked over 39k miles. It has never been back to the dealer except for a CPS recall replacement.
Never been in salt and garage kelp. No rust I have seen yet

I didn't buy it for mudding, I bought it to move hay equipment to the fields and hay out.
Your life would be in serious trouble if you rutted up my hay field.
I bought to pull this loaded with equipment or hay.
It's my third one and none were FWD.
The only place I have ever needed FWD is on a couple boat ramps on Rayburn.

Mine sleeps next to a Ranger.
Mine has never been back either except for that recall.
Been the most trouble free vehicle I have ever owned.

Mudding ain't got nothing to do with it. I stand by my previous statement.

That's like the little boy that kissed the calf on the ass.
Everyone to their own taste.

What is a LS swap?

Putting a Chevy/GM fuel injected V8 instead of the weak Toyota v6 back in. There is some fabrication involved but end result is better and more reliable. Just looked it up and probably more trouble than it's worth for your application. I have put a small block Chevy in an old Toyota before but it was mostly just an off road rig.

When dad worked for Warren Livestock the company always gave him a FWD. They road so rough that he started having troubles with his back, so he had them get him a 2w drive; our trucks ride better now than they did in the 60's. He was stuck a lot less with that 2w drive because he would not crawl into things he knew he could get stuck in.
The only problem around here is that everyone is looking for a FWD. We usually don't see 2w drives around here very much. I bought one about 10 years ago, my ex wife ended up with that truck. I never got stuck with it either, if I didn't think I could get out I didn't go in there. I think that was the only used truck for sale in all of Fremont county that was not a FWD when I bought it.

FWD will get 20' past your chain length every time.

I own 4 with FWD plus 2 tractors, plus a 6x6 side by side. Rarely get stuck but when I do it's very bad

39K since 02 is not evidence of doing much for any stretch of time.My 02 Powerstroke 7.3 old truck just clicked over 39k miles. It has never been back to the dealer except for a CPS recall replacement.
