2wd now with the TB

 

4WD. Honestly, I don't understand the point of owning a 2WD Blazer.

 

Drag racing maybe?

But I got a 4x4, and the jimmy I purchased for my rents is a 4x4 as well

 

Same reason people get a 2wd pickup. Need to haul or tow stuff on the road, and never plan to go offroad.

 

Or drive in the Winter ?
4WD is also used "on the road" for safety reasons. ie. Snow & ice. Not to mention the "fact" that there are thousands of unpaved roads in America. Maybe not in your area. I have 4X4 so that my travels will not be restricted due to the surface construction or conditions of the road whenever & wherever I may be or want to go. Example :Some highways in Colorado require chains in order to use the road during "adverse weather events". 4WD is almost a necessity in some regions of the country regardless of "Offroad" aspirations. The added mobility 4WD offers is worth the weight penalty of the front drive axle and transfer case for some people.

 

I have a 4 WD that I bought at an auction. The system works great, but I would choose to have 2WD. Why? In SC it only snows every two or three years and then only about 2.5 inches. You get excited that you are finally going to get to really use the 4WD. That 2.5 inches causes the schools to close, all offices close, restaurants and businesses close, so you can't go any where. If you do, some one driving a 2WD car going at their standard speed ---driving too fast---will slam into you at the first stop light. They don't have snow tires and don't know how to drive in snow.
Then the mechanical issues with working on a 4WD SUV. To do any work on it from an oil change to engine and suspension work is complex and takes 4 to 5 times longer than it does on a 2 WD vehicle. Read any post about working on a 4 WD vehicle on the forum. From removing the ATF pan to removing the oil pan is painful.
I like the higher ground clearance the Blazer offers. But the additional weight, complexity is not worth the advantage of 4WD traction in a southern state with a mild winter. I would choose the 2 WD version.

 

'89 s10 4x4 and I absolutely love it!

 

I don't have one but you left out AWD.Many are buying these now.But not me I love my 99 GMC Jimmy 4x4

 

Poll option #1 is "4WD/AWD". I had an AWD Bravada back in 2006 when I created this poll.

 

I have never owned an AWD vehicle, come 2 think about it I don't think I have even rode in a AWD vehicle lol... What kind of mpg do they get?
