I've been debating whether to spend the extra money and get a 4WD versus a 2WD Avalanche. Also, whether or not to get the Z71 package with the 4WD. I realize the 4WD hold their value better for resale, but $3K is also a significant amount of additional investment.
Snow in this part of New Jersey happens only a handful of days a year. We've had no problem getting around with a FWD minivan for many years.
I'm thinking that the Z66 package would work well enough in the conditions I will encounter. But there seems to be a stigma attached to a 2WD pickup, as if it's not really a pickup unless it is 4WD.
The problem is, there are very few Z66 pickups in stock to choose from. Seems like the dealers in this area stock mostly 4WD models, and most of them are optioned out to the max in the $38K range MSRP.
What are everyone's opinion on the 2wD versus 4WD debate?
