Status: offline 		So I have only owned a four wheel drive truck and I was curious if there were any advantages of owning a 2wd? I'm assuming you can climb better with the four wheel drive and do wheelies with the 2wd anything else better about having a two wheel drive truck?

Yeah, in an MT, I really don't see what advantages 2WD could give you.  I have both 4WD and 2WD MT's and the 4WD's do everything just as well as the 2WD or better.  2WD can be a little crazier to drive, so that can sometimes be a bonus if you like  a challenge, but their is no real advantage I can think of to 2WD.  Oh, 2WD's are usually cheaper, their is your advantage!

  4wd is the only way to go.
