Please Don't Laugh at Me...2WD vs 4WD when using a dually?

{"text":"This question is strictly for diesel duallies pulling wedges and flatbeds.\n\nI understand that the 2WD will be more efficient, and that 4WD/AWD will guzzle gas more.\n\nI want to know, from an experienced hauler, from someone with mechanical knowledge, which is the righ choice *for my particular situation*...which is sounding like it is not the norm for others in the industry.\n\nPlease keep in mind, I will be leaving the yard at 7:30am each day, empty. I will then go about my daily loads, ALL of them being within 100 miles of Atlnata, and NEVER crossing state lines. This is a strictly intrastate rig/setup. I am basically shuffling cars around for local dealerswaps and auction buys.\n\nI will never be sleeping in this truck. It will never be loaded anywhere close to its max GVWR. And the suburbs of Atlanta aren't too challenging as far as hills go.\n\nThe thing that made me wonder about it is there is an option on the (new) F350 Super Duty's that allows you to switch from 2WD to 4WD on the fly. Pretty cool if you ask me. Is it worth the $3000 for the 4x4 package or should I stick with the 2WD?\n\nI appreciate all input.","pics":"[]","canComment":true}
