...And I am SO glad I didn't!
I bought a '99 Ford F350 dually this past summer on an online auction. I had been looking for one with a 7.3l diesel, manual transmission, regular cab, 4wd, flatbed for years. Most of what I had found were 2wd, or extended cab, or not dually. I never could get the combination right. So about a year ago, I starting thinking maybe I could do without the 4wd. I even looked at a few pickups, but just couldn't shake the thought that I'd regret it. Well, when I saw this pickup online, I jumped. It's high mileage and doesn't have a/c or cruise control, but I wasn't gonna let it slip by without bidding. I got it cheap, apparently I am the only one looking for that combination.
Just today, I hauled two loads of hay around town and a skidder to Patch Grove. To back it away from my shed where I plug it in at night, I had to engage 4wd to go up my steep drive. I needed 4wd lo range to get out of the place I loaded and 4wd again to get into the place I unloaded. I needed it on a particularly steep hill up to a stop sign and to get moving again after I stopped. I even needed it to swing around after dropping off the skidder.
Maybe it's different in the south or for a pickup that never leaves dry pavement, but I don't know how anyone survives without 4wd in a pickup truck that is actually used for work.

The TO-20 was relatively the same as the TE-20 except utilized some different casting materials and had a US-style electrical system. The TO-20 was a dead ringer for the Ford 9N and 2N models and they say that Ferguson did this on purpose when the Handshake Agreement wen
