If you're just using a truck to drive around on the road, 4wd is seldom needed, but I'm constantly using my 4wd on the farm. We're pretty hilly here in SW Wisconsin and it takes 4wd just to go up a steep grassy hill sometimes. Others may be right that putting weight in the bed would greatly help a 2wd truck, but then they just lost their claimed better fuel economy.
That said, many people who have it shouldn't because it makes them think they're invincible in snow and ice. It just makes them a hazard to those around them. I push snow in Madison so I'm driving in pretty bad weather to get to work. I can't believe how much traffic is out when it's snowed 10 inches and there's ice on the road. If they didn't have 4wd, they'd use their brains and stay home in that crap! Funny thing is, most of the fellows in the ditch have 4wd!
