How often do you use 4 wheel drive.

[RI Chevy Silveradoman]

I use it whenever the situation calls for it. Either off road, or in snowy, icy conditions. Thus, I got quite a bit of use this winter.

Almost daily going up my driveway, to keep from spinning ruts in the gravel.

I use 4wd as needed, If I look ahead and it looks iffy. It’s time to engage. I am more prone to engage even when others have felt it not needed.

I guess technically I use 4wd all day everyday..( trucks a dually)..lol.. I have seriously considered converting the truck to 4 wheel drive with a 5-speed stick shift...only cuz I've found that duallys can get stuck on a dry road...I just want the stick shift so I have better engine control coming off mountains when I'm towing a load... Easier to downshift then burn up your brakes

I voted infrequently because I live in an urban area. However, I use it in snow and I do take the truck off-road. I would never own a truck without it.

I dont always use 4wd, but when I do, Its once a year or so, and it usually ends up in me being frame deep with false trust in the abilities of a transfer case equipped vehicle...

the (2) 3/4 tons (93 and 95) are open diff, and are a huge disappointment in 4wd. my 06 Duramax with highway tires, but a G80 locker will bog almost as good. 4wd is just 2wd unless you have a locker.

After every oil change....

It's a piece of my oil change ritual to engage 4hi and 4lo for a few hundred feet in a nearby field.
Having the truck 7 years now, I can count the number of times on 1 hand I've turned it on because I actually was stuck/spinning tires, or as a precautionary measure based on what terrain I was about to cross.

Off road sand and snow if the snow is powdery and the sand is like sugar I dis-engage the ABS too..........

Mostly in the winter (no posi) and during hunting season.
