Southern NE is like Alaska it seems, 4wd/AWD for all!
If you want a 2wd truck you have to go down south to buy one. |

The '12 Silverado 2500 2WD I had to factory order. Yes, I did get it but I had to wait for it to be built and the dealer will move a lot more on a truck he's had sitting in his lot for 6 months.
The '13 Silverado 1500 2WD my dealer found in VA and had to do a 3-way trade with another dealer in order to get it here. That, too, took some time. This one was an "ugly duckling" of sorts in that it was a 6 cyl. low-level work truck with vinyl floor and an auto but did have the chrome appearance package, cloth, AC, PW/PL so it doesn't look like a work truck. It was factory ordered for a customer but the deal fell-through. It worked out well for me since it was for an entry level sales rep without any expectations. When they reach a million in sales, they get the truck built the way they want it (as long as it's 2WD). I hope he's out of that truck by the end of '14!
